TotalEnergies and Aljomaih Energy & Water to develop 400 MW solar power plant in Saudi Arabia
The Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) has awarded a project to the consortium comprising France's TotalEnergies and Saudi developer Aljomaih Energy & Water (AEW) to develop, build and operate a 400 MW solar power plant in As Sufun, KSA.
The electricity produced will be sold to SPPC through a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The solar plant is expected to connect to the grid in 2027 and will power more than 68,400 homes. The As Sufun project is part of Round 6 of the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP) overseen by the Ministry of Energy, aiming to reduce reliance on liquid fuels in electricity generation, in line with Saudi Vision 2030, where Saudi Arabia aims to increase the installed capacity shares from renewable energy sources and energy storage systems to reach Up to 50% by 2030, subject to electricity demand growth.
This renewable project is a new milestone for TotalEnergies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where TotalEnergies is currently operating the 119 MW Wadi Al Dawasir solar power plant and building the 300MW Rabigh 2 project.
