Nuclear
With nuclear power, EDF is committed to address the increasing need for a decarbonised world, while also bringing a wide range of socio-economic opportunities.
Renewables
Saudi Arabia has a target of 130GW of renewable generation capacity by 2030, which represents 20GW added to the grid annually.
EDF, through its Renewables subsidiary supports the energy transition in Saudi Arabia since the establishment of its first office in the country and has won 3 majors projects: Dumat Al Jandal, South Jeddah Noor and Al Henakiyah.
EDF accompanies the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to reach a balanced energy mix, with half of the electricity generation coming from renewable sources.
Thermal
EDF was awarded 2 Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) projects, Taiba 2 & Qassim 2, with provision for decarbonisation through carbon capture technology. These projects mark a first for Saudi Arabia: decarbonised thermal power plants. They align with the Kingdom's energy mix plan to ensure reliable power, promote domestic industry, and adopt carbon capture.
This supports the Saudi Green Initiative's goal of achieving 50% renewable and 50% gas energy mix by 2030. EDF, a leader in decarbonisation, brings expertise to these projects, which will power more than 1 million of homes and boost the local economy.
Transmission & Distribution (T&D)
EDF, a leading Transmission System Operator (TSO) and Distribution System Operator (DSO), sees itself as a T&D leader for Saudi Arabia.
Having collaborated with the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), EDF brings world-class distribution expertise and a proven record in large-scale transmission projects. This aligns with their vision of reliable, efficient, and sustainable energy solutions.
Their commitment to innovation, further evidenced by recent work with the Gulf Cooperation Council Interconnection Authority (GCCIA), extends to T&D investments aimed at transforming Saudi Arabia's energy infrastructure for a sustainable future.
Energy Services & Low-Carbon Hydrogen
Saudi Arabia is advancing the application of energy efficiency efforts aimed at significant energy-saving potential. In 2017, the Public Investment Fund (PIF) created Tarshid, the National Energy Services Company, who started retrofitting 260,000 government facilities and more than 3 million streetlights. These efforts are particularly targeted at the building sector. EDF, through its energy services arm Dalkia, is a key partner to the Kingdom in implementing various measures on multiple government contracts, as well as the Mohammed Bin Salman Nonprofit City District Cooling Plant (Misk DCP).
