Sineng Electric, a global leader in inverter solutions, has signed a contract with Larsen & Toubro (L&T), an Indian multinational engaged in EPC projects, hi-tech manufacturing, and services. The deal aims to supply Sineng's 1500V 6.25MW Turnkey Stations to power the 700MW ArRass solar photovoltaic independent power plant (IPP), one of the largest PV projects that has been tendered as part of Saudi Arabia's National Renewable Energy Program (NREP). The project is being developed by a consortium led by ACWA Power, which has signed a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement with the Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC).
The National Renewable Energy Program, overseen by the Kingdom's Ministry of Energy, Industry, and Mineral Resources (MEIM), is a strategic initiative under Saudi Vision 2030 and the King Salman Renewable Energy Initiative. Its aim is to maximize the share of renewable energy, diversify energy sources, and decarbonize the local economy.

To withstand the high temperatures and sandstorms of the Al Qassim desert area in Saudi Arabia, the inverters will feature advanced safety designs like IP65 and forced-air cooling to ensure stable operation and ongoing security. In addition, they are characterized by high efficiency, high energy density, convenient transportation, and easy installation, which can help achieve lower LCOE and increase return on investment.
“Sineng Electric will make a concentrated effort to provide support for the project and guarantee its smooth running with high-quality products and services. We look forward to mutual trust and win-win partnerships to create greater value for customers!” said Wu Qiang, chairman of Sineng, at the signing ceremony.
The 700MW ArRass PV IPP will contribute to Saudi Vision 2030 by powering approximately 132,000 households in central Saudi Arabia with clean energy, and the partnership between Sineng Electric and L&T demonstrates the strength of Sineng and the recognition from the Middle East market. In the future, Sineng Electric will continue to leverage its advanced technologies to build a zero-carbon world.
