据8月23日Trade Arabia消息：据沙特通讯社报道，沙特阿拉伯正在总面积为1200万平方米的地块上建设两座可再生能源工厂，这是沙特计划利用可再生能源发电50%的一部分。
该公司表示，这些工厂的产能将达到600MW，将通过沙特工业城市和科技区管理局在吉达的第三工业城市和Rabigh的工业城市实施。
能源部正在努力通过增加天然气和可再生能源在其中的份额，使能源结构多样化以生产电力，并正在用天然气取代液体燃料。
据《阿拉伯新闻》报道，本周，沙特另一个可再生能源项目取得了重大进展，开发商Acwa Power牵头的财团宣布关闭1500兆瓦的Sudair太阳能发电厂，该电厂被认为是世界上最大的单一合同太阳能光伏电厂。
它将位于沙特阿拉伯北部的Sudair工业城。该开发商还宣布，沙特阿美旗下的Sapco已加入该财团，这标志着这家石油巨头首次参与沙特公共投资基金的可再生能源项目。

Saudi Arabia set to build two 600MW solar plants
Saudi Arabia is building two renewable energy plants align="justify"> The plants will have a capacity of 600 megawatts and will be implemented in the Third Industrial City in Jeddah and the Industrial City in Rabigh, through the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones Modon, it stated.
The Ministry of Energy is working to diversify the energy mix to produce electricity, by increasing the share of gas and renewable energy sources in it, and is displacing liquid fuel and replacing it with natural gas, it stated.
This week, another Saudi renewable energy project saw a major development after a consortium led by developer Acwa Power has reached financial closure for the 1,500-megawatt Sudair solar plant, which is pegged to be the world’s largest single-contracted solar photovoltaic plant, reported Arab News.
It will be located in Sudair Industrial City in Saudi Arabia’s north. The developer also announced that Aramco-owned Sapco has joined the consortium, marking the oil giant’s first participation in the Saudi Public Investment Fund’s renewable energy program.
