ACWA Power grows renewable portfolio in Africa

ACWA Power’s Redstone Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plant in South Africa has synchronized 50 MW to the national grid, with full capacity expected to reach 100 MW shortly. 

Developed in collaboration with Herlogas and SEPCOIII, the Redstone CSP is set to deliver clean energy to approximately 200,000 households, significantly curbing carbon emissions.

Meanwhile, the Kom Ombo Photovoltaic (PV) plant in Egypt has achieved its full production capacity of 200 MW, supplying clean energy to over 200,000 households. These developments enhance ACWA Power’s African portfolio, with investments in the continent now totaling approximately $7 billion.

Earlier this year, ACWA Power entered into a supply agreement with JinkoSolar for nearly 3 GW of photovoltaic modules for the Saudi PIF4 project. The agreement, covering the Haden and Al-Khushaybi solar power stations within the PIF4 cluster, reinforces a collaborative framework for global photovoltaic initiatives.
