Yanbu Industrial City Energy Status

RC Yanbu Renewable & efficiency Initiatives

Renewable Energy Status for Saudi Arabia Saudi’s solar thermal energy of up to 2,550 KWH per m2 per year (twice

the average solar irradiation in Europe). KA-CARE was Established in 2010 to develop a future sustainable

alternative energy in the Kingdom. Aim to meet % of Saudi Arabia’s energy needs from renewable energy by

2020. KACST is building a 30,000 m3/day solar-powered seawater desalination

plant in Al-Kharfji. PTC (Polysilicon Technology Company) is building a 7,500 tons per year

high-quality polysilicon plant in Jubail. IDEA Polysilicon Company project in Yanbu to produce 10,000 tons/year

polysilicon, 20 million wafers & 19 million solar cells per year. Saudi Aramco is building a 10 MW photovoltaic solar carport system in

the Dhahran office complex. SEC has launched a solar power plant of an annual production of 864,000

KWH per year on Farasan Island.

RC-Yanbu Solar Energy Initiatives

IDEA Polysilicon Company project under design (SR 2.8 billion investment) to produce 10,000 tons/year polysilicon, 20 million wafers & 19 million solar cells per year.

Hydrogen gas network to capture hydrogen from industrial processes and purify to yield a 19.4% energy savings for industrial users.

Upgrade RC-Yanbu Facilities for LEED certification. Activate citywide Smart Solar Application Program. Provide Green building demonstration for the public .

RC Yanbu’s Major Initiatives

RC-Yanbu Solar Energy Initiatives

RC-Yanbu Energy Support Program Educational Campaign – Initiate a major public

relations campaign to inform the public about the environmental & financial benefits of using solar energy.

Offer a Sustainable Design Center – Construct an exhibit building that will feature state-of-the-art features to inform the public of solar energy applications in their homes & businesses.

Solar Training Programs – Establish classes in Yanbu Technical Institute to train students for solar industry manufacturing jobs.

Create a Solar Energy Cluster – Set aside prime area in Industrial Park for companies that produce solar & renewable energy products.
