As the world races toward a cleaner energy future, Saudi Arabia is emerging as a powerful leader in the renewable energy space. With its strategic location, abundant sunlight, and strong government backing through Vision 2030, the Kingdom has become a hotspot for some of the world’s most ambitious solar and wind energy projects.
In 2025, several key renewable energy projects in Saudi Arabia are set to shape not only the Kingdom’s energy landscape but also the global conversation around sustainable development.
🌞 1. NEOM Green Hydrogen Project
At the forefront of the energy revolution is the NEOM Green Hydrogen Project, located in the futuristic city of NEOM in northwest Saudi Arabia. This $8.4 billion project is a joint venture between NEOM, ACWA Power, and Air Products. It will produce 650 tons of green hydrogen per day—enough to power 20,000 hydrogen-fueled buses daily.
This is the world’s largest green hydrogen plant, and it’s expected to go online by 2026, but development milestones and testing phases are progressing through 2025.
🌬️ 2. Dumat Al Jandal Wind Farm
Dumat Al Jandal, located in the Al Jouf region, is Saudi Arabia’s first utility-scale wind power project and one of the largest in the Middle East. With a capacity of 400 MW, it is already supplying clean electricity to thousands of homes.
The project is developed by a consortium led by EDF Renewables and Masdar, and its expansion in 2025 is expected to set new benchmarks in wind power efficiency in the KSA.
🌅 3. Sakaka Solar Power Plant
The Sakaka PV Solar Power Plant in the Al Jouf region marked the Kingdom’s first step into large-scale solar energy. Operational since 2021, its 300 MW capacity serves as a model for future solar developments.
In 2025, Sakaka is serving as a technical and strategic hub for the training of engineers, testing of battery storage solutions, and integration of smart grid systems in the region.
☀️ 4. Sudair Solar PV Project
With a planned capacity of 1.5 GW, the Sudair Solar PV Plant is one of the largest solar initiatives in the Middle East. It’s being developed by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and ACWA Power. This mega project is expected to generate enough electricity to power 185,000 homes and offset nearly 2.9 million tons of carbon emissions annually.
Sudair is expected to be partially operational by late 2025, supporting the Kingdom’s target of generating 50% of its electricity from renewables by 2030.
⚡ 5. Al Faisaliah Solar Project
The Al Faisaliah Solar PV project, located near Makkah, is another major initiative. With an expected capacity of 600 MW, it is designed to meet the power demands of the holy cities while maintaining environmental sustainability.
It is part of a broader strategy to integrate clean energy into religious tourism infrastructure, making it unique among solar energy projects in Saudi Arabia.
