This collaboration aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and China’s Belt and Road Initiative, marking a pivotal moment in sustainable energy development.

This flagship project is developed and led by EDF Group, the leading French utility company specialized in low carbon electricity generation with over 91% of its own production free of CO2 emissions, and Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar), for the client Red Sea Global.

Upon completion in 2027, the AMAALA destination will stand as the world’s second largest off-grid energy storage endeavor, delivering uninterrupted green power 24/7 with zero carbon emissions, advancing Saudi Arabia’s journey towards carbon neutrality.

AMAALA represents a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s strategic initiatives, with the entire destination set to operate solely on renewable energy. When fully operational, it will generate over 50,000 jobs and contribute more than 11 billion riyals to the Kingdom’s GDP.
