Desert sun, turned into power for the Kingdom.
Tanweer Qewa Energy Company builds, owns and operates the 400 MW Tabarjal Solar PV Plant in Al Jouf, supplying clean electricity to the Saudi grid for the next 25 years.
One company, one plant, built for the long run.
Tanweer Qewa Energy Company is a special purpose vehicle set up for a single job: to develop the Tabarjal Solar PV Plant and run it for the full life of its power contract.
The company was founded by Jinko Power Technology (Hong Kong). Every kilowatt-hour the plant produces is sold to the Saudi Power Procurement Company under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement, which gives the project a stable, long-term footing.
The plant sits in Tabarjal, Al Jouf Province, where clear skies and high solar irradiation make the region one of the strongest locations in the country for photovoltaic generation.
