NEOM's Vision for Renewable Energy: Assystem to Survey 7 Saudi Solar Sites

• Assystem has been appointed by NEOM to conduct pre-development studies for seven potential solar photovoltaic parks in Saudi Arabia, potentially producing 20GW of energy across 420 square kilometers. Assystem will provide site assessment, environmental impact, permitting reports and more for this renewable energy project.

NEOM has appointed Assystem to conduct a range of pre-development studies for seven planned solar photovoltaic parks in Saudi Arabia. These projects, located in the Tabuk and Duba regions, would directly contribute to NEOM’s goal to become a fully renewable energy hub. Assystem’s scope of services includes site assessment studies, environmental impact assessments, permitting reports, and advanced design of the parks. The sites earmarked for the parks cover 420 square kilometres, potentially generating over 20GW of energy. Assystem’s global head of siting and environmental services Kerem Sadiklar stated that this project is a crucial step towards achieving a 100% renewable energy goal.

What Is NEOM's 100% Renewable Energy Goal?

• NEOM is committed to becoming a 100% renewable energy hub by 2030.
• The seven solar photovoltaic parks located in Tabuk and Duba regions will generate over 20GW of energy.
• Assystem was appointed to conduct pre-development studies, including site assessment, environmental impact assessment, permitting reports and advanced design for the parks.
• The 420 square kilometres area earmarked for the solar parks will help to achieve the 100% renewable energy goal.
• The government of Saudi Arabia is committed to increasing renewable energy production to 20GWh by 2030, and NEOM's projects are a crucial step in achieving this goal.
