Non-local concerns are more based on the feasibility of mega solar in general. It is often claimed that solar energy is too expensive and nuclear energy would be more suitable as an energy source in Japan, especially considering the land scarcity and the large land use for mega solar projects:
Al-Masa’a IPP Solar Power Plant will generate 1,000 MW in Hail, while Ar Rass Solar PV Park is expected to have a capacity of 700 MW in Al-Qassim. These upcoming projects demonstrate Saudi Arabia’s positive approach to expanding its renewable energy capabilities and its readiness to meet growing energy demands.
China’s solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturers should tie up with foreign companies to navigate geopolitical and trade challenges to maintain the country’s grip on the sector and boost revenues after exports fell 35 per cent this year, a Ministry of Commerce official told industry representatives.
Solar installations grew 4% year on year in the European Union in 2024, down sharply from 53% growth in 2023. The slowdown coincides with a decline in solar investment, marking the first such drop this decade. SolarPower Europe now forecasts annual growth of 3% to 7% in solar installations from 2025 to 2028.
However, ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) projects are increasingly causing opposition in Japan. Especially solar PV projects with a capacity over 1 MW, so-called mega solar projects, are triggering conflicts.
Sudair Solar PV Project has a planned capacity of 1,500 MW in Riyadh. Al-Masa’a IPP Solar Power Plant will generate 1,000 MW in Hail, while Ar Rass Solar PV Park is expected to have a capacity of 700 MW in Al-Qassim.
