Saudi Arabia accelerates renewable energy progress with key partnerships in 2025
These initiatives align with Saudi Arabia’s strategic push for clean energy, supporting its broader goals in renewable energy and hydrogen technologies.
Saudi Arabia’s renewable energy sector is gaining momentum in 2025, with strategic public and private partnerships paving the way for a greener future for the kingdom and the broader region.
ACWA Power has signed two pivotal agreements with Aramco to advance renewable energy projects and assess the performance of vanadium flow batteries in Saudi Arabia’s climate. The first agreement, unveiled at ACWA Power’s third Innovation Days event, centers on developing an advanced photovoltaic energy forecasting project. Leveraging big data and machine learning, the initiative seeks to improve solar power generation predictions, boost grid stability, optimize energy dispatch, and enhance microgrid management.
The second agreement centers on evaluating the efficiency and durability of vanadium flow battery technology in Saudi Arabia’s climate. The project will examine how these batteries can store energy over long periods and contribute to the adoption of renewable energy, especially in water desalination.
These initiatives align with Saudi Arabia’s strategic push for clean energy, supporting its broader renewable energy and hydrogen technologies goals. “By investing in cutting-edge desalination technologies alongside renewable energy innovation and green hydrogen production solutions, we are paving the way for a more resilient and sustainable energy and water infrastructure in Saudi Arabia,” said Thomas Altmann, ACWA Power’s EVP for Innovation and New Technology.
In addition to the agreements with Aramco, ACWA Power signed four other partnerships with Bluewater Bio, Dow, Hysata, and KAUST. These collaborations include testing advanced filtration technology for desalination with Bluewater Bio, evaluating anti-scaling chemicals with Dow, and advancing green hydrogen production with Hysata. ACWA Power also extended its partnership with KAUST to support sustainable water desalination and solar energy solutions.
Additionally, ACWA Power signed a framework agreement with Fraunhofer IMWS, ISC, and IWES to collaborate on renewable energy and green hydrogen research. The agreement aims to drive innovation in clean energy through joint research in efficiency, sustainability, and technology advancements.
