With a robust portfolio and operations spanning across 13 countries, ACWA Power is not only a national champion but also a key player in the global shift towards sustainable energy solutions.
ACWA Power’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its expansive portfolio, which includes 77 projects that underscore its role as a catalyst in the Middle East’s energy transformation. The company’s approach is rooted in its Develop-Invest-Operate-Optimise model, ensuring that its assets perform sustainably and efficiently.

Driving Economic Growth and Climate Action
In line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, ACWA Power is playing a central role in diversifying the Kingdom’s economy and reducing its reliance on fossil fuels. The company’s initiatives in solar, wind, and green hydrogen plants are pivotal in Saudi Arabia’s goal to neutralize carbon emissions by 2060.
ACWA Power’s recent announcement of a $1.9 billion stock sale to fund expansion reflects its ambition to triple its assets by the end of the decade. This move capitalizes on the company’s substantial growth since its listing in 2021 and underscores its commitment to driving sustainable economic growth.

As the world looks ahead to COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, ACWA Power’s role in shaping the energy landscape is more crucial than ever. The company’s efforts are recognized as it sponsors pivotal events like MENA Climate Week, aligning with the COP28 initiative by the United Nations.
ACWA Power’s Vice President and Managing Director Raad Al-Saady’s presence at the Baku Energy Forum highlights the company’s influence and its alignment with global climate action goals.
