Saudi Arabia’s SPPC has launched Round 7 of the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP). With 5.3GW of solar and wind projects, this marks the kingdom’s largest renewables tender to-date as it continues to accelerate its low-carbon energy strategy. NREP Round 7 consists of four solar PV plants with combined 3.1GW capacity and two wind farms with 2.2GW capacity (see table 1).
