Saudi Arabia’s NEOM Awards Contract for Seven Solar Parks to Assystem
The solar parks will directly contribute to NEOM's vision to become the world's most advanced renewable energy hub and the first at-scale fully renewable electrical system.

NEOM has awarded a significant contract to Assystem through its subsidiary ENOWA. Under the contract, Assystem will conduct a suite of pre-development studies for seven planned solar photovoltaic parks in the Tabuk and Duba regions.
The solar parks will directly contribute to NEOM's vision to become the world's most advanced renewable energy hub and the first at-scale fully renewable electrical system.
Assystem will deploy its experts to provide a range of services, which include a site assessment study, preliminary design of parks and master planning, environmental baseline surveys, an environmental and social impact assessment study, and permitting studies. Within this scope, various studies such as geotechnical, geophysical, topographical, hydrological, glint and glare, and corrosion assessments, energy yield calculations, and advanced design of the parks will be conducted.
The sites earmarked to host the solar parks stretch over 420km2, potentially amounting to more than 20GW (accounting for around 65 percent of land use) in energy generating capacity. Solar PV is one of the key renewable energy technologies being deployed globally to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Kerem Sadiklar, Assystem's Global Head of Siting and Environmental Services said, "This project marks one of the first steps towards realizing the deployment of solar PV on a truly massive scale – directly contributing to NEOM's ambitious 100 percent renewable energy goal. Assystem is proud to be delivering its high-quality siting and environmental services on behalf of such an exciting and significant initiative."
