The request as filed
What the requester wrote on the intake form
Problem
Training and test centres in nine remote governorates work from old leased buildings where energy costs SAR 11 per square metre a month and summer power cuts postpone tests.
Current state
4,800 MWh a year, diesel back-up generators running 60 days every summer, and 2,600 tonnes of emissions a year.
Objective
Nine model qualification centres for remote regions with an energy-efficient design, rooftop solar and storage that covers their whole demand.
Expected scope
The model design, the buildings, solar and storage, and five years of operation and maintenance.
Expected benefits
Savings
Energy cost down from SAR 11 to SAR 4.2 per m² a month
