ACWA Power and Larsen & Toubro Limited have chosen Nextracker to provide all-terrain tracker NX Horizon-XTR for a 1.17 GW installation at Al Kahfah Solar Power Plant, a renewable energy project in Saudi’s central province that is part of the National Renewable Energy Program.
Additionally, the solar plant will provide clean energy to the Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) as part of the renewable energy projects essential to meet the targets of Vision 2030 and the Ministry of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Program to increase renewables in the nation’s energy mix to 50% by 2030. Meanwhile, L&T has been awarded the engineering, procurement, and construction contract for the Al Kahfah Solar Power Plant.
Furthermore, the area the solar plant will occupy is dominated by a hilly, hard-soil land surface that would typically require a combination of explosives and grading machines to flatten the land the new solar tracking system will cover. Nextracker previously partnered with ACWA Power and L&T on the 906 MW Sudair Solar PV Plant to provide its solar trackers.
