Chinese PV inverter and energy storage system provider, Sungrow, is partnering with Larsen & Toubro of India to supply 165 MW of PV inverters and a 160 MW/760 MWh energy storage system to Amaala, described as “an ultra-luxury and wellness destination”, on the Red Sea coast, Saudi Arabia.
The collaboration is said to “align with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and China’s Belt and Road Initiative.”
Amaala, to be completed in 2027, will employ one of the world’s largest off-grid energy storage systems, “delivering uninterrupted green power 24/7.”
Occupying 4155 square kilometers, Amaala consists of 29 hotels (3900 rooms) and 1200 luxury villas, apartments and estate homes, “complemented by upscale retail, dining, and leisure facilities” – all to be operated solely on renewable energy.
The project is being developed and led by EDF Group and Masdar, for Red Sea Global.
