RIYADH, Saudi Arabia,
May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sungrow,
the global leading PV inverter and energy storage system provider,
has forged a strategic partnership with Larsen & Toubro to
supply 165MW PV inverters and 160MW/760MWh energy storage systems
for AMAALA, a prestigious destination in Saudi Arabia. This collaboration aligns with
Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and
China's Belt and Road Initiative,
marking a pivotal moment in sustainable energy development. This
flagship project is developed and led by EDF Group, the leading
French utility company specialized in low carbon electricity
generation with over 91% of its own production free of CO2
emissions, and Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar), for the
client Red Sea Global.
Upon completion in 2027, the AMAALA destination will stand as
the world's second largest off-grid energy storage endeavor,
delivering uninterrupted green power 24/7 with zero carbon
emissions, advancing Saudi
Arabia's journey towards carbon neutrality.
AMAALA represents a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia's strategic initiatives, with the
entire destination set to operate solely on renewable energy. When
fully operational, it will generate over 50,000 jobs and contribute
more than 11 billion riyals to the
Kingdom's GDP. Spanning 4,155 square kilometers along the Red Sea
coast, AMAALA will feature 29 hotels, 3,900 rooms, 1,200 luxury
villas, apartments, and estate homes, complemented by upscale
retail, dining, and leisure facilities.
In line with the goals of Saudi
Arabia's "Vision 2030" and the "Belt and Road" initiative,
the AMAALA off-grid project will supply continuous green
electricity to local desalination and wastewater treatment plants.
Sungrow's innovative solar-plus-storage solution will power this
landmark project, including the construction of the world's largest
10MW demonstration platform. Leveraging advanced simulation models
such as Hil semi-physical simulation, DigSilent, and PSCAD,
rigorous tests will ensure system reliability in various scenarios,
reinforcing power quality and stability.
The project is projected to generate an annual capacity of 410
million kilowatt hours, sufficient to slash carbon dioxide
emissions by nearly 500,000 tons.
Mr. T Madhava Das, Whole-Time
Director & Senior Executive Vice President (Utilities) at
L&T, remarked, "Following our successful collaboration on the
Neom New City project, we are excited to partner with Sungrow once
again for the AMAALA destination. With Sungrow's cutting-edge
energy storage solutions and the groundbreaking 10MW demonstration
platform, we anticipate delivering exceptional quality and timely
execution, ensuring 100% sustainable water usage within the
destination. This partnership represents a significant stride
towards net-zero emissions, marking a milestone in reducing fossil
fuel dependency for both China and
Saudi Arabia."
