According to the deal, Arctech will supply solartracker SkyLine II with a capacity of 2.3 GW for the PIF4 project owned by ACWA Power.
This project is situated in Taif City, located in the Haden District of Makkah Province, SaudiArabia. The region often experiences high winds; however, Arctech’s innovative synchronous multipoint drive mechanism, SkyLine II can operate effectively under such adverse conditions. For instance, it features a wind stow mode that allows horizontal stowing even in winds up to 22m/s. This capability enhances powergeneration and overall return on investment (ROI) throughout the lifespan of the hashtag#powerplant.
Upon completion, this project is estimated to generate a total of approximately 156.189 billion kilowatt-hours over 25 years, equivalent to a reduction of nearly 147 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions, which will greatly contribute towards the Saudi Arabia’s goal of achieving “2060 Vision”.
