Overview
Masdar and EDF Group consortium is developing a a fully optimised and decarbonised off-grid renewable energy system at AMAALA, a new destination with wellness at its core, nestled along the Red Sea coast of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The system will generate electricity from a 250 MW solar photovoltaic park, 700MWh battery energy storage, transmission and distribution lines, and desalination plant, with a capacity of 37 million litres of drinking water per day and wastewater treatment plants securing the needed base load around the clock.
The innovative project will avoid the equivalent of nearly 350,000 tons of CO2e emissions every year compared to average infrastructures of this kind, and it will be a cutting-edge infrastructure project, paving the way for a new era of eco-friendly luxury tourism.
