Arctech, China announces that it has signed a landmark cooperation agreement with PowerChina Huadong Engineering Corporation Limited for the PIF6 AFIF 4.2GW solar project in Saudi Arabia.
Located near Riyadh, the project comprises two sub-projects: AFIF1 （1.8GW） and AFIF2（2.4GW). To overcome local environment challenges such as high winds, sandstorms, and extreme heat.
The project will feature our advanced SkyLineⅡ Tracking system, along with customized terrain-following strategies and pile foundation designs. These solutions ensure high energy yield and long-term stability throughout the project life-cycle.
This project is a key pillar of Saudi Arabia’s “Vision 2030”, which aims to generate 50% of electricity from clean energy and add 58GW of renewable capacity by 2030.
Upon completion, the 4.2GW solar plant is expected to generate approximately 9 billion kWh of clean electricity annually — enough to power 1.5 million households, significantly advancing Saudi Arabia’s energy transition.
With over 9GW of projects secured in Saudi Arabia since 2025, Arctech continues to reinforce its leadership in the regional clean energy market, depending on its strong local presence and reliable delivery and service capacity.
