Saudi Arabia, Riyadh/USA, Nashville: US solar tracker maker Nextracker Inc. has been contracted to equip a 1.17 GW installation at the 1.581 GWp Al Kahfah Solar Power Plant project in Saudi Arabia, which is being developed by power and water company ACWA Power.
The order was assigned by ACWA Power and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor Larsen and Toubro (L&T). It involves Nextracker’s all-terrain NX Horizon-XTR smart solar tracker systems and is the company’s largest deployment of this series in a single order to date.
The project is one of three major solar PV Independent Power Producer (IPP) projects led by ACWA Power and the Water and Electricity Holding Company (Badeel). As part of the deal, Nextracker has extended its domestic content and capacity development programme in the Kingdom, engaging a range of local partners to provide raw material and manufacturing support for its trackers at plants across the region.
