Masdar-led consortium reaches financial close on solar project in Jeddah
A consortium led by Abu Dhabi renewable energy company Masdar and France's EDF Renewables reached financial close on a 300 megawatt solar power plant project in Jeddah.
The consortium, which also includes Saudi Arabia-based Nesma Company, is starting construction on the plant that is scheduled to begin operation in 2022, the companies said in a statement on Saturday.
The solar plant will be located in Third Jeddah Industrial City.
