Sudair Solar Could be a Showcase Project for PIF Posted on 04/16/2021 The Sudair Solar photovoltaic project is in Sudair Industrial City, located approximately 120 kilometers from Riyadh. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) holds a 50% stake in ACWA Power. ACWA Power is leading the development for Sudair Solar PV project alongside PIF portfolio company Water and Electricity Holding Company (Badeel). Badeel is 100% owned by PIF. In addition, PV project owners signed a power purchase agreement with the Saudi Power Procurement Company for 25 years. The 1.5 gigawatt Sudair Solar PV project is set to become one of the world’s largest Solar PV plants by capacity and touches on a goal for having Saudi Arabia to run more on renewable energy internally. With an investment value of approximately SAR 3.4 billion (US$ 907 million), Sudair PV IPP will be capable of powering 185,000 homes and offsetting nearly 2.9 million tons of emissions per year.
