The National Energy Services Company (Tarshid), in collaboration with King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, has launched a significant solar panel installation project aimed at enhancing energy efficiency across the university’s buildings and facilities.
The initiative, designed to align with the highest global standards, focuses on generating solar energy for self-consumption, helping to reduce overall energy consumption and promote sustainability.
Solar Power System to Generate 4 Million kWh Annually
Tarshid’s CEO and Board Member, Waled bin Abdullah Al-Ghreri, explained that following detailed technical assessments and energy audits of the university’s buildings, the company identified a substantial opportunity to improve energy efficiency using solar power. A robust 2,500 kWh solar panel system will be installed on the rooftops of various university buildings. This system is projected to generate 4 million kWh of renewable energy annually, primarily for the university’s own use.
Environmental Impact and Energy Savings
The project is expected to save the equivalent of more than 6,600 barrels of oil and reduce approximately 2,000 metric tons of carbon emissions annually. This reduction in carbon emissions is comparable to the environmental benefit of planting over 39,000 tree seedlings each year.
Alignment with Saudi Vision 2030
Tarshid’s solar panel initiative supports Saudi Arabia’s broader sustainability goals, contributing to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 objectives. This program is part of the ongoing effort to achieve substantial energy savings and lower carbon emissions in the Kingdom.
