What happened
Saudi Power Procurement Co. (SPPC) began the eighth round of the National Renewable Energy Program with a request for qualification covering 1.9 GW of solar generation across two projects.S1 The EAM independent power producer project has 1 GW of capacity, while the TMR independent power producer project has 900 MW.S1
EAM is planned approximately 120 km southeast of Tathleeth in Asir province.S1 TMR is planned approximately 26 km north of Tumair, 62 km east of Al Majmaah and 170 km north of Riyadh in Riyadh province.S1
Selected developers must finance, construct and operate their respective facilities under a build-own-operate structure.S1 Interested parties must complete prequalification by Nov. 22, although the source did not disclose the tender’s expected commercial-operation schedule or equipment-supply schedule.S1
| Metric | Reported value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Total solar capacity | 1.9 GW | S1 |
| EAM project capacity | 1 GW | S1 |
| TMR project capacity | 900 MW | S1 |
| Prequalification deadline | Nov. 22 | S1 |
| Expected commissioning schedule | Not disclosed | S1 |
Background timeline
- - Bids were submitted for the fourth-round projects after SPPC announced qualified developers in .S1
- - SPPC awarded 3 GW across four projects from the sixth round.S1
- - SPPC launched the seventh round for 3.1 GW across four projects.S1
- - SPPC shortlisted bids for the fifth-round projects, including a $0.0129/kWh offer for Al Sadawi.S1
- - SPPC launched the fifth round covering 3.7 GW across four projects.S1
- - SPPC launched the fourth round with 1.5 GW of solar capacity and 1.8 GW of wind capacity.S1
- - SPPC launched the third round for 1.2 GW across four projects.S1

- - Sakaka, Saudi Arabia’s first utility-scale solar plant procured under the NREP, was connected to the grid.S1
XAIPART take
Technical impact
XAIPART analysis: The BOO structure gives developers responsibility for the full asset lifecycle, so equipment configuration decisions will shape long-term performance and maintenance exposure. Procurement teams should request module, inverter, transformer and tracker specifications during technical due diligence rather than wait for a final award.
XAIPART analysis: Because the source discloses no commissioning dates or technical specifications, engineers should treat project timing, storage requirements, grid-connection limits and equipment specifications as unresolved inputs.
Market impact
XAIPART analysis: Qualification creates an early signal of the developer pool, but it does not establish which manufacturers will supply either project. Suppliers should avoid treating the 1.9 GW RFQ as an order pipeline until SPPC publishes awards and procurement awards.
XAIPART analysis: The source does not disclose delivery lead times, local-content requirements or supply-chain allocations, so buyers cannot yet use this tender to support firm production forecasts or lead-time commitments.
Action
XAIPART analysis: Suppliers and engineering contractors should identify the BOO entities that pass qualification and map their EPC and procurement relationships. Vendors with relevant solar-system content should also track qualification, award and equipment-tender milestones separately.
XAIPART analysis: Procurement teams should prepare a comparison of technical requirements, bankability standards and delivery commitments, but should not commit inventory against this program before binding contracts and delivery schedules are published.
XAIPART Forecast
XAIPART analysis: XAIPART expects SPPC to award at least 2 BOO projects totaling 1.9 GW within 9 months. If announced awards total less than 1.9 GW, this forecast is wrong. XAIPART analysis
