Saudi solar generation, modelled
What the tracked Saudi photovoltaic projects would generate in a typical year, added as each reaches commercial operation, by stage. Modelled, not measured; the solar generation Saudi Arabia reported is drawn over it.
Saudi solar generation, modelled
What the tracked Saudi photovoltaic projects would generate in a typical year, added as each reaches commercial operation, by stage. Modelled, not measured; the solar generation Saudi Arabia reported is drawn over it.
By 2030, the tracked projects in the chart would add up to about 114.5 TWh a year.
- Operating
- Under construction
- Contracted
- Tendered
- Reported solar generation (Our World in Data)
PVGIS 5.2 yield at each project's town or region times its capacity as stated, taken as peak; single-axis tracking is assumed from 50 MW unless the source says otherwise. A long-run average year, with no curtailment, outages or degradation. 53 of 70 tracked Saudi projects carry an estimate (wind and CSP do not); 3 modelled projects with no operation year (2.6 TWh a year) are left out.
