From the artical the Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Energy said:
This project reaffirms the Kingdom’s commitment to achieving its ambitious targets for producing and exporting renewable energy, as it will optimize the utilization of renewable energy resources across the Kingdom, support the Kingdom’s strategic position for exporting electricity generated from renewable resources, and promote the Kingdom’s aim to produce clean hydrogen.
The project will also primarily contribute to achieving the optimal energy mix targets for electricity production, with renewable energy sources comprising about 50% of the energy mix by 2030, and to achieving the goals of the Liquid Fuel Displacement Program by reducing dependence on liquid fuel in electricity generation.
