The Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) has launched the sixth phase of the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP), initiated by the Saudi Arabian government. As part of this initiative, an RFQ has been released for the development of 3 GW of solar energy capacity across four distinct projects.
Among the planned facilities is a substantial 1.4 GW (AC) solar plant located near Hima in Najran province. Additionally, a second facility with a capacity of 600 MW (AC) is proposed near Ad Darb in Jizan province. SPPC is also looking to assign a 600 MW (AC) project set for Jazan and a 400 MW (AC) project near Al Sufun in Hail province.
Developers chosen for these projects will be required to implement a build-own-operate (BOO) model for the construction and management of the facilities. The deadline for pre-qualification submissions for the tender is 15th October.
