Photovoltaic (PV) Cable Export Case -- Saudi Arabia

Driven by ambitious national energy diversification strategies such as Saudi Vision 2030 and UAE Net Zero by 2050, countries across the Middle East are rapidly expanding large-scale solar power generation. Mega PV projects exceeding 500 MW to 1 GW are under development in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Qatar. Harsh desert conditions — intense UV, high temperatures, sandstorms — pose significant challenges for cable durability.

Client Profiles

  • UAE 1 GW Al Dhafra Solar Project (Abu Dhabi) — one of the largest PV plants globally

  • Saudi Arabia Sakaka 300 MW Solar Plant — pioneering project for Saudi renewable sector

  • Oman Ibri 2 Solar Plant 500 MW — key project under Oman Vision 2040

Project Challenges

  • Extreme temperatures up to 60–70°C on cable surfaces

  • UV radiation & ozone requiring long-term resistance

  • Mechanical strength for ground-mounted tracking systems

  • Fire safety and compliance with IEC & local regulations

  • Need for fast supply due to compressed project timelines

  • Full traceability & TUV/CE/CB certifications required for export
