LONGI to supply Hi-MO 5 solar modules to Red Sea solar PV project
LONGi has won a contract to supply 406 MW of its Hi-MO 5 bifacial modules to SEPCOIII Electric Power Construction Co., Ltd. for Saudi Arabia's Red Sea Project.
Located on the Kingdom's west coast, the project will be completely powered by renewable energy, generated via solar panels and wind turbines to meet the initial demand of 210 MW, with further expansion planned. Included in the package is the world's largest battery storage facility of 1000 MWh, which will allow the destination to remain completely off-grid and powered by renewables day and night.
The agreement also covers the construction of 3 seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plants, designed to provide clean drinking water, a solid waste management center, and an innovative sewage treatment plant (STP) that is expected to allow waste to be managed in a way that enhances the environment, by creating new wetland habitats and supplementing the venue with irrigation water for landscaping.
