Saudi Arabia has unveiled plans to launch a second bidding round for 400MW of wind power at a project in Domat al-Jandal in al-Jouf province by the fourth quarter of this year, to be followed by further phases of the round involving 620MW of solar power.
The Saudi energy ministry, which earlier this month outlined a shortlist for its first large-scale 700MW renewables tender, says projects in the second round will be tendered on a build, operate and own basis.
