Sakaka is a 300MW photovoltaic (PV) solar project located in Sakaka City, Al Jouf Province, Saudi Arabia. It was commissioned by its developers, ACWA Power (70%) and AlGihaz''s subsidiary AlGihaz Renewable Energy Company (30%), in April 2021.
It will connect Kudmi Substation, southwest of Saudi Arabia, to Riyadh Combined Cycle Power Plant 14 in its capital city. Under the contract Hyundai E&C signed with National Grid SA, a power transmission unit of Saudi Electricity Co, it is responsible for Portion 1 of the three-portion project to build a 369-km transmission line near Kudmi
Inaugurated in 2021, the Sakaka Solar Power Plant in Al Jouf is the first of its kind under the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Renewable Energy Initiative, led by the Ministry of Energy. Using state-of-the-art photovoltaic technology, the
It rigorously examines the cost-effectiveness of distributed solar power in Saudi Arabia, supported by a detailed power generation and economic analysis of grid-tied PV systems. The discussion covers critical metrics, including the UF of rooftop PV systems, PRs under

The first step in this project aims to design a solar PV system for generating the electricity need of Al-Noor Specialized Hospital in Saudi Arabia. This hospital is characterized with a large energy demand with energy
Saudi Arabia''s Public Investment Fund (PIF) is financing a large-scale solar project run by ACWA Power, which is helping to kickstart the country''s aim to become a global energy transition leader.
Saad Solar PV Park is a 300MW solar PV power project. It is planned in Al Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. According to GlobalData, who tracks and profiles over 170,000 power plants worldwide, the project is currently at the under construction stage.
The first step in this project aims to design a solar PV system for generating the electricity need of Al-Noor Specialized Hospital in Saudi Arabia. This hospital is characterized with a large energy demand with energy consumption bill more than $1.5 million per month.
Solar energy development plays a vital role in mitigating climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By embracing solar power, Saudi Arabia supports SDG 13''s objectives of taking urgent action to combat
The progress of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy deployment in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has been impressive in recent years, with the government''s commitment to renewable energy development and the launch of large-scale solar projects such as the Sakaka solar PV project and the Sudair solar PV project.
Solar energy development plays a vital role in mitigating climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By embracing solar power, Saudi Arabia supports SDG 13''s objectives of taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
It rigorously examines the cost-effectiveness of distributed solar power in Saudi Arabia, supported by a detailed power generation and economic analysis of grid-tied PV systems. The discussion covers critical metrics, including the UF of rooftop PV systems, PRs under harsh climatic conditions, and the LCOE for grid-tied systems.
Saudi Arabia''s Public Investment Fund (PIF) is financing a large-scale solar project run by ACWA Power, which is helping to kickstart the country''s aim to become a global energy transition leader.
Inaugurated in 2021, the Sakaka Solar Power Plant in Al Jouf is the first of its kind under the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Renewable Energy Initiative, led by the Ministry of Energy. Using state-of-the-art photovoltaic technology, the Plant generates electricity from the sun''s rays and is made up of over 1.2 million solar panels arranged
This research article presents an analysis of the progress made in the deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy in Saudi Arabia, highlighting the country’s ambitious targets and the policies and initiatives that have facilitated the growth of the PV sector in recent years.
The Lunch of Saudi Solar Energy Program Sakaka, Al Shuaibah, and Sudair Solar Energy Projects have been completed By 2030, the gaol is 40GW PV solar and 2.7GW (CSP) concentrated solar power capacity
In Saudi Arabia, there are currently two notable policies and incentives enacted to promote the adoption of rooftop solar PV systems. These measures are designed to encourage homeowners and businesses to invest in renewable energy, reduce their energy bills, and contribute to the country’s sustainable development goals.
Key locations include Sakaka in Al Jouf Province, Al Shuaibah in Makkah Province, and Sudair in Riyadh Province, among others. These projects capitalize on Saudi Arabia's geographical position and favorable weather conditions to generate solar power. Solar energy is set to expand nationwide.
Saudi Arabia has set a target of producing 58.7 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030, comprising 40 GW from solar PV, 16 GW from wind energy, and 2.7 GW from concentrated solar power (CSP) [ 6, 7, 8 ], as illustrated in Figure 2.
The Sakaka Solar Power Plant is also setting records in the solar industry. It has achieved a levelized cost of energy, coming in at just $0.023 per kWh. And with Saudi Arabia's unique geographical and climatic advantages, using renewable energy sources like this one is an economically attractive option for the Kingdom.
