The joint venture will undertake full engineering, procurement and construction including photovoltaic generation facilities, battery energy storage infrastructure, grid interconnection works and transmission facilities. The scope also covers balance of plant and supporting systems required for delivery of the project.

The joint venture will manage procurement, civil works, installation and testing and will coordinate grid tie works and commissioning. Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy described the order as supporting regional decarbonisation and strengthening energy security across the MENA region, and said it would deliver within stipulated timelines while maintaining safety and quality.
