Assystem, a leading global entity in the nuclear engineering industry, has announced that its key division, Assystem Radicon, has been chosen by the Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) to carry out pre-development studies for renewable energy parks in Saudi Arabia.
This partnership is formalized under a three-year Framework Consultancy Agreement – Technical IPP Predevelopment Service, according to a LinkedIn update from Assystem.
Scope of the Agreement
Under the terms of this agreement, Assystem Radicon will oversee the verification that all work meets the specifications, standards, and drawings required by Saudi Aramco.
This ensures that the quality of the work aligns with industry norms and expectations.
Assystem’s Role in Saudi Arabia’s Clean Energy Transition
Assystem, renowned for its expertise in nuclear engineering, has been instrumental in supporting Saudi Arabia’s transition to low-carbon energy and infrastructure through its subsidiary, Radicon.
Established three decades ago in Saudi Arabia as a local engineering firm, Radicon now operates with offices in Riyadh, Al Khobar, and Yanbu.
This new agreement with SPPC marks the second contract awarded to Assystem Radicon by the company.
Previously, Radicon was selected to provide project management and construction supervision services for the Taiba and Qassim power plant gas pipeline project.
Saudi Arabia’s Renewable Energy Initiative
In June of this year, the Saudi Ministry of Energy launched the Geographic Survey Project for Renewable Energy sites across the Kingdom.
This ambitious initiative aims to install 1,200 measurement stations to evaluate solar and wind energy potential throughout the region.
The project is part of Saudi Arabia’s broader efforts to expand its renewable energy capacity and support sustainable development goals.
Conclusion
The collaboration between Assystem Radicon and the Saudi Power Procurement Company underscores the growing commitment of Saudi Arabia to enhance its renewable energy infrastructure.
As Assystem continues to play a pivotal role in the Kingdom’s clean energy transition, this partnership highlights the increasing integration of low-carbon solutions in the country’s energy strategy.
