据钻机地带8月18日消息称，ACWA电力公司透露，沙特阿美的全资公司沙特阿美电力公司 (SAPCO) 已加入萨达尔城太阳能工厂财团。
ACWA电力公司和 Badeel将分别持有萨达尔城1号可再生能源公司35%的股份，SAPCO持有剩余30%的股份。ACWA电力公司于周日宣布了 1500 兆瓦萨达尔城太阳能发电厂的财务结算。
萨达尔城太阳能光伏被描述为公共投资基金(PIF)可再生能源项目下的一个关键项目。ACWA电力公司强调，萨达尔城太阳能光伏项目的投资价值为9.065亿美元(34亿SAR)，它将成为世界上最大的单一合同太阳能光伏电站之一，也是沙特阿拉伯最大的同类电站之一。
沙特阿美下游高级副总裁 Mohammed Al Qahtani 在公司声明中表示：“我们参与萨达尔城太阳能光伏电站的建设，反映了我们在自身运营和更广泛的能源网络中推进可持续能源解决方案的努力。”
他补充道：“尽管碳氢化合物在未来几十年仍将是能源结构的重要组成部分，但太阳能等可再生能源在帮助实现全球气候目标方面也将发挥重要作用。萨达尔城将支持沙特阿拉伯到 2030 年利用可再生能源满足该国部分电力需求的雄心，是沙特阿美正在部署的几个低碳能源选项之一。”
萨达尔城太阳能项目的启动是在 2021 年 4 月 Sakaka 光伏项目落成典礼上宣布的。 据 ACWA电力公司网站称，该项目的初步试运行预计将在2022年下半年进行。
ACWA电力公司自称是发电和淡化水厂的开发商、投资者和运营商。据其网站显示，该公司在13个国家拥有64项运营、建设或高级开发资产。SAPCO成立于2016年，负责监督沙特阿美石油公司电力和公用事业部门的所有活动。
沙特阿美支持《巴黎协定》将全球平均气温升幅控制在2℃以下的目标。该公司在其网站上指出，在满足世界能源需求的同时，减少排放以应对气候变化仍然是本世纪最大的挑战。
