Overview
The Al Sadawi Independent Power Producer (IPP) project is a 2,000 MWac solar photovoltaic plant, located in the Sadawi Region of Saudi Arabia.
Part of Saudi Arabia's National Renewable Energy Programme (NREP), the project marks a significant milestone in the Kingdom's journey towards its Vision 2030 goal of generating 50% of its electricity from renewable sources.
The project will be developed on a Build, Own, and Operate (BOO) basis, with a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) signed with the Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC). The plant is expected to commence early generation at full capacity by May 2026, with the official Commercial Operation Date (COD) set for August 2027.
This is Masdar’s largest single-location project to date and one of the world's most substantial solar installations.
It will contribute substantially to sustainable development, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance energy security in Saudi Arabia.
