An initiative under the SGI umbrella is the Saudi Telecom Company (STC) Solar Pilot Project, which aims to install solar power capacity across STC infrastructure by 2024. Another initiative is the plan to run AlUla on 100% renewables from a solar PV plant and battery farm (1 GW of installed capacity) by 2035.
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.
From 2011 to 2020, the annual price CAGRs of PV-grade polysilicon and solar modules were -19.5% and -15.3%, respectively. However, in mid-2020, prices started to rise after several incidents at polysilicon man-ufacturing facilities, including a fire, a flood, and an explosion, which caused a drop in Chinese polysilicon production.
