Saudi Arabia targets to meet 50% of its energy demand with locally produced renewable energy by 2030. Therefore, the Kingdom has launched the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP). 

Under the umbrella of NREP the country is massively expanding the infrastructure for RE production for municipalities and industry. These expansion plans prompt great opportunities for German technology solution providers from the electricity and energy sector. 

 

Symposium on Energy grids

Moreover, on March 6, 2024, GESALO hosted a German Saudi Symposium on Energy grids with welcome words from H.E. the German Ambassador, Michael Kindsgrab and Delegate Dr. Dalia Samra-Rohte.
