The SPPC will also consider applicants to deliver two wind projects, the 1.3GW Blighah wind project and the 900MW Shagran wind project. It aims to reach decisions on successful applicants by 29 September this year. The requests come under the seventh round of the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP). The fifth round of the NREP saw bids made for 3.6GW of new solar capacity, and SPPC has been active in advancing other solar power projects in the state, signing power purchase agreements (PPAs) for 12GW of solar capacity as recently as July. This year, US tracker manufacturer GameChange Solar and Chinese manufacturer TrinaTracker have advanced manufacturing plants in Saudi Arabia.
