PVH, a solar tracker manufacturer based in the Middle East, has landed a 1700MW order for its equipment to supply one of the largest solar projects in the region.
The contract with China Energy Engineering Group Co (CEEC) is to supply 1.7GW of trackers for a site in the Al Shuaibah area of Jeddah City, Makkah Province in Saudi Arabia.
The development represents a total investment of $2.2bn in its two phases, with a 2GW solar photovoltaic plant expected to begin commercial operations by the fourth quarter of 2025.
“Al Shuaibah is a very important project for PVH to showcase our expertise with product engineering and resilient design adapting to a projected lifetime of 35 years,” said PVH Middle East chief executive Youssef El Sayed.
“This project is a benchmark to commemorate PVH’s local content strength in delivering large scale projects.”
PVH has already supplied over 10GW in the Middle East and continues to grow in the region.
El Sayed added: “Our bond with both ACWA and CEEC is further strengthened with this collaboration.
“Our portfolio continues to grow as we supply with the fastest turnaround and highest quality through our own manufacturing facility in Jeddah.”
