Together with AlDhabaan & Partners in association with Eversheds Sutherland, we advised Saudi Power Procurement Company, as the procurer and offtaker, for the Al Shuaibah 1 and Al Shuaibah 2 solar photovoltaic projects which achieved financial close on 10 August 2023.
The Al Shuaibah PV 1 and Al Shuaibah PV 2 projects will have a capacity of 600 MW and 2,031 MW respectively and are capable of powering approximately 450,000 households. The total investment in the projects amounts to USD2.37 billion, and commercial operations will commence in 2025.
Financial close for the projects is a key achievement in the National Renewable Energy Program which is led and supervised by the Ministry of Energy.
