ACWA Power and Bapco Energies have entered into a joint development agreement to collaborate on the development of a solar project integrated with a battery energy storage system in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province.
The arrangement outlines cooperation between the two companies to jointly develop the project through multiple phases, with the planned generation capacity expected to reach up to 2.8 GW. All electricity produced from the project will be transmitted to Bapco Energies’ load centre in Bahrain. Furthermore, the collaboration supports cross-border clean power movement within the Gulf Cooperation Council and forms part of Bapco Energies’ implementation efforts under the Bahrain National Energy Strategy.
