[Chinese banks assist in landing 15GW clean energy project]In the global energy transition wave, Saudi Arabia's actions are attracting the attention of the world. Recently, Saudi energy giant ACWA Power announced that it has secured a massive financing of up to $5.95 billion for its 15GW clean energy projects. This funding will be used to support two wind power projects and five photovoltaic projects located within Saudi Arabia, demonstrating the clear strategy of this oil kingdom to extend its energy dominance through new energy.
This financing can be regarded as a "national team global tour", attracting 29 financial institutions from the Gulf region, Europe, China, Japan and other places to participate. Among them, several Chinese financial institutions, including Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank, and China Minsheng Bank, have provided strong support. The loan term is as long as 27 years, reflecting the confidence of international capital in the long-term prospects of Saudi Arabia's new energy development.
The equity structure of the project is jointly held by ACWA Power, Badeel, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saudi sovereign fund PIF, and Saudi Aramco Power Company. This national level risk sharing model greatly enhances market confidence. All projects are expected to be fully operational from the second half of 2027 to the first half of 2028. Saudi Arabia's rapid execution capability is in line with its strategy of seizing the future "second pot of gold" - by building a globally leading low-cost green power base, laying the foundation for future industries such as hydrogen energy and green metallurgy, and reshaping its role in the global energy landscape.
