King Abdullah Initiative for Solar Water Desalination
Hani EnayaDirector of Center of Excellence for Green Nanotechnologies at KACST & UCLA
Yousef Alyousef Director of Energy Research Institute at KACST
Solar R&D and Commercialization: History & Outlook
1977 KSA and the US
signed the Soleras program
agreement to cooperate in the
field of Solar Energy
1981 Solar Village 350 KW PV. Supplied 1 to 1.5 MWh/
day to three villages
1984 Yanbu Solar Desalination
Plant. Average solar energy
collected is 2.2 MWh/ day.
1986 Hysolar
Program.KSA and
Germany signed the Hysolar MOU
for Solar Hydrogen
Production and Utilization.
1994 12 Solar
Radiation monitoring
stations.Monitoring total horizontal, direct
normal and diffuse
radiations.
Solar R&D Timeline
1994 Sadoos PV
Water pumping & Desalination.
To test PV systems for remote area applications.
1996 PV Powered
Highway Lighting.
Generate ~1.5 MWh /day to
light two remote tunnels: 240 m,
and 546 m, (Aseer Region).
1996 PV Green House
Application.14.4 kWp PV system and
battery storage system to test the use of a
stand-alone PV system to power a greenhouse.

Why King Abdullah Initiative for Solar Water Desalination (Pain points)?
Saudi Arabia produces more than 4 million cubic meters per day representing 18% of global output
40% of local water demand in KSA is met by desalinated water
Seawater desalination is energy-intense
Power & desalination plants consume around 1.5 million barrels equivalent of oil per day
Water technology is the first priority of the National Science, Technology and Innovation Plan (NSTIP)
Phase IConstruction of a solar-powered desalination plant at Al-Khafji (30,000 m3/day). Operational by end of 2014
Phase IIConstruction of a solar-powered desalination plant (300,000 m3/day), in coordination with SWCC. Location TBD
Phase IIIScale up the initiative throughout the Kingdom
Phase IVApply the initiative for greening and agriculture when the cost of solar desalination ~ 0.5 Riyal/m³
