Major Wind Turbine Shipment Arrives at Saudi Port to Support Green Energy Goals
RIYADH — Saudi Arabia’s King Fahd Industrial Port in Yanbu has received one of its largest shipments of wind energy equipment as the Kingdom accelerates its renewable energy expansion, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The vessel Pacific Titan arrived at the Red Sea port carrying nine complete wind turbines, including 27 blades and other components, destined for the Setara and Shaqra wind energy projects. The delivery was coordinated by the Ministry of Energy and relevant government agencies.
The Setara and Shaqra projects form part of the National Renewable Energy Program, overseen by the Ministry of Energy through the Saudi Power Procurement Co. Saudi Arabia aims for renewable energy sources and energy storage systems to account for about 50 percent of the Kingdom’s electricity generation mix by 2030, in line with rising demand.
The shipment was among the largest ever handled through the port’s operational and logistics system, highlighting the facility’s ability to accommodate oversized and specialized cargo.
