Saudi Energy Firm Expands US Ties With $500 Million Agreements


(MENAFN- The Arabian Post)

Acwa Power has formalised Memorandums of Understanding valued at $500 million with several US companies, reinforcing its strategic collaborations in the energy sector. These agreements were signed during the Saudi-US Investment Forum held in Riyadh, aiming to bolster innovation and investment in renewable energy and infrastructure.

The new MoUs build upon Acwa Power's existing partnerships with American firms, which now collectively exceed $6 billion. The latest agreements focus on reducing energy costs and enhancing local production capabilities in solar energy projects. Additionally, Acwa Power is collaborating with GE Vernova to test and implement innovations in core equipment for combined-cycle gas turbine projects and electricity transmission and distribution systems within the Kingdom.

GE Vernova's involvement includes the deployment of advanced gas turbines and the provision of maintenance services to support the operations of power plants in Saudi Arabia. This collaboration aligns with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative, which seeks to diversify the economy and promote sustainable energy solutions.

The Saudi-US Investment Forum served as a platform for strengthening economic ties between the two nations, with a focus on energy, technology, and infrastructure development. The agreements signed by Acwa Power and its American counterparts signify a mutual commitment to advancing energy efficiency and sustainability in the region.
