12 KSA Initiatives of RE

Adding 9.5 GW of RE to National Energy Mix

Adding 3.45 GW of RE to National Energy Mix Sector Structure and Commercial Model: Best Practices Based on our benchmarks

Ministry of energy to control the Integrated Resource Planning process and Strong Policy Making support its implementation

Integrated IPP procurement for both conventional and Renewable Energy to exist within conventional and RE one entity – Principal Buyer procurement

Clarity of A procurement model with well-defined evaluation and qualification criteria, procurement process transparent and eliminate conflict of interest.

Remove private sector hurdles by providing land, conducting geotechnical, De-Risking Private environmental and interconnection studies. SLA’s will need to be signed Sector Investments between concerned stakeholders

Cost-recovery Ensure cost recovery for IPP investors through an independent body. assurances

All key principles are adhered (e.g. transparent, competitiveness, and no conflict Governance of interest, etc.), the Boards/IPP office representation need to be ‘Neutral’
