PowerChina Guizhou Engineering Co.,Ltd. announces the groundbreaking ceremony for Saudi Arabia’s Al Masa’a (MAS) and Al Henakiyah 2 (AHK2) photovoltaic projects was held at the MAS project site.
The Projects are part of the fifth round of solar projects under the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP) which is led and supervised by the Ministry of Energy.
The launch of the Saudi R5 photovoltaic project, a key project for Guizhou Engineering Company in the Middle East’s new energy market, marks a significant milestone. The R5 project comprises two subprojects: the MAS project (1.25 GW installed capacity) and the AHK2 project (500 MW installed capacity), with a total installed capacity of 1.75 GW. The MAS project covers an area of 2,450.4 hectares, and the AHK2 project occupies 936 hectares.
Construction involves the design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and operation and maintenance of the photovoltaic power station and its supporting ancillary projects. Upon completion and operation, the project is expected to generate 4.4 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, providing green and stable clean energy to approximately 550,000 local households and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 2.88 million tons, contributing to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goal of building a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient new national energy system.
