- Antaisolar and Bahra Electric are establishing a solar production plant in Jeddah, aiming for 24 GW annual capacity by 2027.
- The joint venture focuses on large-scale solar projects, which will help Saudi Arabia achieve its clean energy goals and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.
Antaisolar, a global leader in photovoltaic mounting solutions, partnered with Bahra Electric to establish a solar production plant in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The companies announced the joint venture during the Solar & Storage Live KSA 2024 event, with plans to reach 24 GW of annual production by 2027.
The plant will occupy 500,000 square meters in Bahra Industrial City. It will start with 8 GW of production in 2025, increase to 15 GW by 2026, and hit 24 GW by 2027.
Gabriel Wong, Vice President of Antaisolar, highlighted the significance of entering the Saudi market. “This venture demonstrates the impact of combining local production with global innovation,” said Wong.
The project focuses on large-scale solar developments, emphasising efficient design, logistics, and execution. Antaisolar and Bahra Electric aim to reduce downtime throughout the project lifecycle.
Both companies plan to maximise local content to meet Saudi Arabia’s solar energy standards. They will support large regional solar projects by collaborating with independent power producers (IPP) and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) companies.
Saudi Arabia continues to promote energy sustainability and aims to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels, with this new plant crucially contributing to these efforts.
Antaisolar ranks among the top ten global solar tracking system manufacturers. This joint venture with Bahra Electric aligns with its strategy to enhance global renewable energy capacity.
The plant will play a central role in boosting Saudi Arabia’s clean energy goals and increasing its solar power capacity, driving the nation’s shift toward sustainability.
