PPA signed for 300 MW Rabigh 2 solar project in Saudi Arabia
The consortium comprising TotalEnergies and Saudi developer Aljomaih Energy and Water Company (AEW) has signed a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) related to the 300 MW Rabigh 2 solar power project.
This project is part of Round 5 of the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP) which is supervised by the Ministry of Energy aiming to achieve an optimal energy mix for electricity production by having gas and renewable energy at approximately 50% each by 2030 and reducing dependence on liquid fuels in electricity generation in line with Saudi Vision 2030. The solar plant will be developed, built, owned, and operated by the consortium with a connection to the grid planned in 2026.
This renewable project is a new milestone for TotalEnergies in Saudi Arabia where TotalEnergies is currently building the 119 MW Wadi Al Dawasir solar power plant, which will start operation in early 2025.
