<\/a> TotalEnergies-led consortium set to build KSA solar farm:<\/strong> Noor Alwadi Renewable Energy Company \u2014 a JV between French oil and gas giant TotalEnergies, Japan\u2019s Toyota Tsusho Corporation, and Saudi Arabia\u2019s Altaaqa Renewable Energy \u2014 is set to build a 119 MW solar plant in Saudi Arabia, according to a statement<\/a> released last Wednesday. The project is expected to become operational in March of 2025 and is expected to cost c. USD 100 mn, the statement notes.<\/p>\n

The details:<\/strong> The solar farm will be built by Chinese infrastructure company Sepco<\/a> in Wadi Al-Dawasir, 500 km south of Riyadh. The project broke ground last month and is expected to be completed by 2025, the statement notes. The consortium will build, own, and operate the solar farm. The Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) will be the sole offtaker<\/a> of the clean energy the project will produce.<\/p>\n

Who owns what:<\/strong> TotalEnergies and Toyota each hold a 40% stake in the company, while Saudi Arabia\u2019s Altaaqa Renewable Energy owns a 20% share, according to the statement. The Arab Petroleum Investments Corporation and Riyadh Bank will both serve as lenders for the project, the statement adds, without specifying how much financing each party contributed to the solar farm.<\/p>\n

Total has been making moves in our neck of the woods:<\/strong> The company inaugurated<\/a> the USD 470 mn 800 MWp Al Kharsaah solar plant in Qatar last October. In November, TotalEren and SME investor Enara Capital signed<\/a> an agreement for a 300k ton green ammonia facility in Egypt\u2019s Ain Al Sokhna. More recently, the company signed an agreement with the Iraqi government to develop a 1 GW solar power plant<\/a> to supply the Basrah regional grid in April. The French company said it would invite renewables giant Acwa Power to take part in the project.<\/p>\n

Ditto for Toyota Tsusho: <\/strong>The Japanese firm is part of a consortium developing the USD 501<\/a>mn<\/a> 500 MW Gulf of Suez wind farm in Egypt. Earlier in November, the consortium inked an agreement<\/a> to build a separate 3 GW wind farm in Egypt.<\/p>\n

And SPPC is snapping up renewable energy PPAs:<\/strong> The company inked power purchase agreements with KSA\u2019s Badeel \u2014 owned by KSA\u2019s sovereign wealth fund the Public Investment Fund (PIF) \u2014 back in May<\/a> for three solar energy projects worth 4.5 GW at an investment ticket of SAR 12.2 bn (c. USD 3.25 bn).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
