Bisha in Asir Province is the largest of the SPPC Wave 6 solar projects and the subject of two separate tracker supply announcements in early 2026.
A project profile is only useful if its fields are explicit. Owner, consortium, EPC, province, procurement round, tracker supplier and stage are separate pieces of information with separate sources.
This entry demonstrates the template that every later project record will follow.
Project scope
The data box
We record the procurement chain and the two capacity announcements without adding them together. A status field distinguishes tender, award, supply agreement, construction and operation.
Why this project is a useful reference
Two announcements, one complex
The 27 January and 4 February releases are cross-linked to the Newsroom analysis but answered from a different angle here: what the project record can safely contain.
Why localisation appears in a project record
Local manufacturing affects lead time, freight and the definition of delivery milestones. It is a logistics field, not a marketing note.
Data box
| Field | Value as reported |
|---|---|
| Province | Asir |
| Procurer | Saudi Power Procurement Company |
| Round | NREP Wave 6 |
| Consortium | ACWA Power, Badeel, SAPCO |
| EPC | Larsen & Toubro |
| Announcement 1 | 2.25 GWp, 27 January 2026 |
| Announcement 2 | 1,290 MWp, 4 February 2026 |
| Programme context | USD 8.3 billion, 15 GW, seven plants |
All figures above are quoted with the unit and reference period used by the primary source. They are reproduced here for reference, not independently re-measured.
What is not confirmed: verification note
The assumption that both awards belong to one project is an inference. GWp and MWp come from two different releases and are never summed into a project total.
What to watch next
An owner-side disclosure confirming the package boundaries and the commercial operation date.
