Saudi Arabia’s National Renewable Energy Program (Saudi NREP) has set the deadline for submission of request for proposals (RFP) for Dumat Al Jandal on Jan. 25, 2018.

 

The bidding for the Kingdom’s first wind plant will open the day after, the NREP said on Tuesday. 

Last month, the Renewable Energy Project Development Office (REPDO) met with the 25 companies qualified to submit proposals for the 400 megawatt project, which will be located in Al-Jouf.

 

Qualified bidders include EDF Energies Nouvelles, a subsidiary of the French public energy company, as well as other global companies such as SNC-Lavalin Arabia, Enel Green Power, Elecnor, Vestas Middle East, Siemens, GE, Toyota, and Korean Kepco.

 

The Dumat Al Jandal project marks the second of two tenders for round one of the NREP, after the Solar PV project in Sakaka, Al Jouf region. Both projects aim to provide an economic boost to the area over the next few years through inwards investment, maintenance, distribution, and supporting services.
