Sungrow has agreed to supply inverter technology for a 2.2 GW solar plant under development in Oxagon, Saudi Arabia. The PV installation, which will be the largest in the Middle East upon completion, will provide power for Neom Green Hydrogen Co.’s (NGHC) $8.7 billion green hydrogen project.
China's Sungrow said this week that it will provide its inverter skid technology and 1+X modular inverter solution for a 2.2 GW solar plant that NGHC is building in Oxagon. The project site is in a port area close to the futuristic Neom City project.
Once it is completed, the solar plant will be the largest PV array in the Middle East. It will power a $8.7 billion green hydrogen plant that NGHC is also building in Oxagon.
“NGHC will produce carbon-free hydrogen using solely renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power to produce up to 600 tonnes per day of carbon-free hydrogen by the end of 2026,” Sungrow said.
The Chinese inverter supplier noted that it has also agreed to provide the project's engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor, India-based Larsen & Toubro, with 400 MWh of energy storage systems and 536 MW/600 MWh of DC capacity.
If we had a hydrogen economy worldwide, every nation on earth could create its own energy source to support its economy, and the threat of war over diminishing resources would just evaporate
