SolarReserve Wants To Build 600 MW Solar Power Plant In Saudi Arabia
July 8, 2013
US solar project developer SolarReserve has hopes to build a massive solar energy park in Saudi Arabia that could boast up to 600 MW of baseload capacity.
The plans by the Santa Monica–based company will be submitted to Saudi authorities in the hope that the concept will be acceptable for upcoming auctions of solar capacity as part of the kingdom’s commitment to build 42 GW of solar.
Saudi Arabia has indicated it will offer 1,100 MW of solar PV capacity and a further 900 MW of solar thermal capacity in the first round of auctions, which could be called by the end of this year.
If possible, SolarReserve would look to combine capacity in both CSP and PV at the one location. That would include four solar thermal towers with storage, and a further 400 MW of solar PV.
