Saudi Arabia''s largest source of clean electricity is solar (1%). Its share of wind and solar (1.4%) was well below the global average in 2023 (13%). Saudi Arabia relied on fossil fuels for 99% of its electricity in 2023. Its
Saudi scientists have determined the current price threshold for power purchase agreements (PPA) that could make large-scale PV and wind power projects viable in Saudi Arabia. They incorporated data from the 300 MW Sakaka solar farm and four potential utility-scale PV project sites.
KSA possesses solar and wind resources throughout the country which have not yet been well utilized . According to the KSA Vision 2030, RE systems (including wind and solar) will play a major part in future power generation. The kingdom has set an initial target of 9.8GW of RE on a short term basis and 41GW of RE by the year 2032 .
KSA has announced 4.3 GW of solar-wind projects to be completed by the year 2032, including the Sakakah 300 MW grid-connected wind power system. Apart from the KSA, most countries have intensified the application of RE options for electricity production. During 2020, 260 GW of RE was installed for power generation globally .
They incorporated data from the 300 MW Sakaka solar farm and four potential utility-scale PV project sites. Researchers at King Abdulaziz University have conducted a techno-economic analysis for utility-scale wind and solar plants in Saudi Arabia and have found that current tariffs make projects economically unviable.
“The Sakaka solar PV plant operates under a 25-year PPA with an electricity price of $23.40/MWh, while the Dumat Al Jandal wind farm has a 20-year PPA with an electricity price of $21.30/MWh,” the researchers said, acknowledging that technical and financial details for the plants are not fully available.
They said that to achieve zero NPV values, the other identified sites for solar deployment should host projects requiring PPA prices ranging from $26.10/MWh to $29.30/MWh.
