Significant milestones
Financial close (FC) for NEOM Green Hydrogen Project — USD 6.3 billion funding
NGHP is the largest at-scale green hydrogen under-construction project of its kind in the world. This mega-plant will integrate 4 GW of solar and wind energy to produce up to 600 tonnesper day of carbon-free hydrogen from 2026, to then convert to liquid green-ammonia to transport and export to the world. The NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC), an equal partnership between ACWA Power, Air Products and NEOM, has successfully reached a critical milestone early this year by completing the financial close of USD 6.3 billion of non-recourse project finance debt.
SAR 1.8 billion Sukuk
We submitted to the Capital Market Authority (CMA) of Saudi Arabia our application to issue the second tranche of Sukuk under the SAR 5 billion programme, which subsequently raised SAR 1.8 billion in February 2023 at a record pricing in double digits in the SAR market since 2017 with 2.24 times oversubscription.
