Chinese group Sineng Electric said it has secured key supply contracts for the 2.6GW PIF4, a landmark renewable energy project co-owned by a consortium of global utility major Acwa Power along with leading Saudi entities - Badeel and Sapco.

 

The PIF4 project cluster includes two sub-projects - Haden solar power plant and Al Khushaybi solar power plant.

 

As per the deal, Sineng has been awarded a 1GW supply agreement with China Energy Engineering Group Consortium for the Haden project and a 1.6GW agreement with Larsen & Toubro for the Al Khushaybi project, reinforcing its presence in the Middle Eastern market. 

 

As part of the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP), the project supports the Kingdom’s objective of achieving a 50% renewable energy mix by the end of the decade.

 

For this project, Sineng will provide its advanced 8.8MW MV turnkey stations, each comprising 2 units of 4.4MW central inverter, a transformer, and an RMU, said the Chinese group in a statement. 

 

These inverters are known for their high power output and ability to accommodate large block sizes, thereby maximizing energy generation. Their modular design at the component level, along with four MPPTs, enables flexibility and efficiency across a variety of conditions, it stated. 

 

Engineered to withstand extreme temperatures up to 51ºC without derating and strong sand-laden winds, the 8.8MW MV turnkey stations will deliver consistent and reliable performance throughout the plant’s operational lifespan.

 

"Sineng Electric is honoured to be part of the PIF4 solar PV project and support KSA’s efforts to diversify its energy sources," said Qiang Wu, Chairman of Sineng Electric. 

 

"With over 6.5GW of secured contracts in the Middle East, Sineng is dedicated to accelerating the global clean energy transition by delivering innovative, reliable, and efficient energy solutions tailored to the evolving needs of PV projects," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
