Saudi Electricity eyes opportunities in EV infrastructure

Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) has acquired a 25 percent stake in Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Company for 254 million Saudi riyals ($67.73 million).

The move will allow the SEC to operate and create partnerships to provide alternate current (AC) and direct current (DC) power charging infrastructure for EVs, the company said in a statement to the Saudi stock exchange on Sunday.

Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Company is backed by Saudi sovereign wealth fund Public Investment Fund (PIF).
