   사우디 전력공사는 북부지역의 2개의 태양광 발전소 건설 및 운영자 선정을 위한 입찰을 준비하고 있다.

각각 50MW 용량의 이 태양광 발전소는 태양전지로 직접 전기를 생산하는 PV방식이다.

사우디가 신재생에너지 시설의 건설과 운영을 위한 파트너를 찾는 것은 이번이 처음으로

태양광에너지 수요 증가에 부응하기 위한 에너지 공급을 다변화하고 풍부한 일조량의 장점을 십분 활용하기 

위한 재생에너지 개발에 힘쓰고 있다.

현재 신재생에너지에 의한 전기공급은 목표치인 50%에 비하여 겨우 10%에 불과하다.

프로젝트 재원조달관리를 위하여 홍콩의 HSBC홀딩스 픽스가 컨설턴트로 참여하고 있다.

Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) is accepting bids from international developers to build two solar-power plants in the Kingdom’s northern region, the company announced on its website.

The plants will each generate as much as 50 megawatts (MW) using photo-voltaic technology, which produces power directly for solar cells, according to a tender announcement.

The utility is asking international companies to submit by June 20.

The tender is the first by Saudi Arabia to seek international partners to cooperate in building and operating renewable-energy facilities, according to the Middle East Solar Industry Association.

Saudi Arabia is developing renewable energy to take advantage of its ample sunlight and to diversify energy supply amid rising demand, Saudi Gazette reported.

Yet renewable resources will only account for about 10 percent of total power capacity compared with the previous target of about 50 percent, Energy Minister Khalid Al-Falih said last week during a presentation of the Kingdom’s long-term strategy to overhaul the economy.

HSBC Holdings Plc’s Saudi unit is acting as financial consultant for the tender, DLA Piper is legal adviser, and DNV GL is technical consultant, Saudi Electricity said.
