Saudi Arabia has brought the 1,100MW Al Henakiyah (1) Solar PV Plant into commercial operation, marking another milestone in the Kingdom’s renewable energy ambitions under the National Renewable Energy Program.
Located south of Al Henakiyah Governorate in the Madinah Region, the project entered commercial operation in summer 2025. Supervised and implemented by the Ministry of Energy, the solar plant is expected to generate enough electricity to power approximately 190,000 homes each year.
Electricity from the facility will be purchased at a tariff of 1.6842 cents per kilowatt-hour, highlighting Saudi Arabia’s continued ability to deliver renewable energy at globally competitive costs.
The project forms part of the fourth phase of the National Renewable Energy Program and supports the Kingdom’s broader strategy to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy, expand energy storage capacity, advance the Liquid Fuel Displacement Program, and reduce carbon emissions.
The Al Henakiyah (1) Solar PV Plant also supports the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to increase the share of renewable energy and storage to around 50% of the country’s electricity generation mix by 2030. The initiative is also intended to strengthen energy security, diversify the energy sector, and support the Kingdom’s long-term sustainability objectives.
