Saudi Arabia: Four bid for wind project

Four companies have submitted bids for Saudi Arabia’s first wind power project, a 400MW scheme in Al-Jouf province. They include the local Acwa Power – which won the kingdom’s first solar power project in February, also in Al-Jouf – as well as France’s EDF and Engie and Italy’s Enel. It remains unclear at this stage when the bids will be opened and a winner announced.
