In the vast and boundless desert hinterland of the Arabian Peninsula, the scorching sun not only shapes unique landforms, but is also becoming a powerful driving force for energy transformation. In 2026, a huge photovoltaic order from Saudi Arabia will closely connect Chinese power electronics technology companies with this golden sand sea, jointly writing a new chapter in green energy. Shangneng Electric has officially signed a contract to participate in the Saudi PIF 6 photovoltaic project cluster, providing core photovoltaic inverter equipment for this mega project jointly developed by ACWA Power, Public Investment Fund (PIF), and Aramco Power. This marks a key position for China's high-end manufacturing in Saudi Arabia's clean energy roadmap.

Integrated innovation to tackle harsh challenges

The PIF 6 project cluster signed this time has a large scale, including two photovoltaic power stations, Bisha and Humaij, with a total installed capacity of up to 3GW. Among them, the Bisha project has a capacity of 2.37GW and the Humaij project has a capacity of 0.664GW. Faced with such a large centralized power station demand and complex local site conditions, Shangneng Electric has come up with its own "fist product" -8.8MW medium voltage integrated whole station solution.

This scheme highly integrates two 4.4MW centralized inverters, transformers, and ring main units, with a compact and efficient design. It not only enhances system integration and environmental adaptability, but also effectively optimizes initial investment, simplifies installation and commissioning processes. With its fast grid response capability, it perfectly meets the construction standards and technical expectations of large-scale photovoltaic power plants in Saudi Arabia.

Localized system helps break through the 10GW barrier

This signing is not an accidental success of Shangneng Electric in the Middle East market, but an inevitable result of its long-term deep cultivation strategy. In the past few years, the company has continued to focus on the Middle East and Africa markets and has established a complete localization system consisting of regional headquarters, sales offices, and service networks. This deeply integrated attitude enables it to provide local customers with full chain support from one-stop solutions to localized operations, and then to high-quality on-site delivery, ensuring that projects of all scales can be implemented steadily.

It is precisely with this solid localization layout and deep understanding of customer needs that Shangneng Electric has successfully surpassed the 10 GW mark in the region's cumulative contracted capacity, deeply participating in multiple iconic renewable energy projects. Its role has evolved from a simple equipment supplier to an increasingly critical technical partner in the regional energy transformation process.

Empowering Global Carbon Neutrality with Chinese Technology

Based on the new starting point of PIF 6 project, the green footprint of Shangneng Electric is extending to the broader Middle East and Africa with the deepening of the the Belt and Road Initiative. Looking towards the future, the company will continue to adhere to the concepts of technological innovation and sustainable development. With its advanced and reliable optical storage solutions that can accurately adapt to local application scenarios, it will fully assist countries in the Middle East and Africa in achieving low-carbon development goals.
