Jinko Solar Secures L&T Supply Contract for NEOM Project

  • Jinko Solar has secured a contract from Indian engineering and construction giant Larsen & Toubro (L&T) for the supply of solar modules.
  • The project directly aligns with Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Vision 2030 to lead the global shift towards clean energy. 

A leading solar and energy storage company based in China known as Jinko Solar has said that it has secured a contract from Indian engineering and construction giant Larsen & Toubro (L&T) for the supply of solar modules for one of its premium projects at the Saudi futuristic city NEOM.

The NEOM Green Hydrogen Project, which is a groundbreaking initiative, is currently under construction at the Oxagon site of the Saudi futuristic city.

By the end of 2026, it aims to produce a remarkable 600 tonnes of carbon-free hydrogen daily, converted into green ammonia—a clean-burning fuel for transportation and industries.

Jinko Solar said the establishment of the world’s largest green hydrogen project in the Saudi futuristic city represents a significant leap towards a sustainable future for the region.

The owners of the mega-plant NEOM includes Saudi utility giant Acwa Power, and US-based Air Products, a world leader in industrial gases—integrates wind and solar power.

The project directly aligns with Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Vision 2030 to lead the global shift towards clean energy. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia exemplifies its commitment to clean energy through pioneering projects like this.

Furthermore, under the Power Elements package, L&T was awarded the engineering, procurement, and construction contract for constructing a 2.2 GWac PV solar plant, a 1.65 GW Wind Generation Balance Plant, and a 400 MWh Battery Energy Storage System.

As per the deal, the Indian construction conglomerate will also set up three units of 380 kV Switching Stations and 306km of 380 kV overhead lines required for the kingdom’s grid network.
