London, December 03, 2024, (Oilandgaspress) ––– The consortium comprising TotalEnergies and Saudi developer Aljomaih Energy and Water Company (AEW) has signed a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) related to the 300 MW solar power project, Rabigh 2.
This project is part of Round 5 of the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP) which is supervised by the Ministry of Energy aiming to achieve an optimal energy mix for electricity production by having gas and renewable energy at approximately 50% each by 2030 and reduce dependence on liquid fuels in electricity generation in line with Saudi Vision 2030. The solar plant will be developed, built, owned and operated by the consortium with a connection to the grid planned in 2026.
“Together with our partner Aljomaih Energy and Water Company, we are thrilled to contribute to Saudi Arabia’s target of increasing the share of renewables in its energy mix. Through our large participation in refining and petrochemical Satorp and Amiral projects, TotalEnergies is a close partner of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This new project is another example of our multi-energy strategy to accompany Oil & Gas producing countries in their energy transition. This also demonstrates our ability to provide more energy with less emissions, while contributing to our growth in electricity and renewable energy”, said Patrick Pouyanné Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies.
