Driving community impact

As a company, we have always considered ourselves to be an integral member of the communities in which we operate. We prioritise community engagement and address the most pressing issues our communities face with relevant CSR programmes. We are fully committed towards community development, social responsibility, and sustainable livelihoods.

In 2022, our total CSR contribution amounted to SAR 18.4 million, and supported a range of initiatives:

We channel resources towards CSR initiatives in all of our regions of operations, whether mandated by the terms of our agreements with local off-takers or not and encourages all our business units operating in diverse geographies to include CSR considerations into its operations. In carrying out its CSR initiatives, due consideration is given to the diversity of cultures, values, customs, and societal norms of the region it operates. In 2022, most of our CSR support was allocated to supporting various social and environmental initiatives in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as well as to projects in our Africa region, namely in Morocco and South Africa.

Risk

The Board has established the control environment, approved the risk appetite statement, risk management policy, and delegated oversight responsibilities under the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework to the Board’s Risk Management Committee.

ACWA POWER together with its subsidiaries, joint ventures and affiliates (the “Group”) adopted comprehensive, state-of-the-art approach to risk management that follows the principles and methodology of the ISO 31000 guidance standard. Most of the Group’s managed risks are related to the different phases of its business model of developing, investing in, operating, and optimising the power generation, water desalination and green hydrogen production assets, encompassing a full life cycle of such assets

The Group promotes a strong culture of risk management, combined with an approved risk framework that effectively supports appropriate risk awareness, behaviours and risk-based decision making. In accordance with the Group’s risk management framework, we have developed specific responsibilities, tools and guidance, and systematically assess, mitigate, monitor risks at corporate level and during development, construction, and operation phase of projects to manage all relevant identifiable risks effectively.

Business development

All business development projects go through a gated approval process by the Management Investment Committee and the Board Executive Committee. Project-related market, technical, legal and financial risks are reviewed to guarantee the required risk adjusted return. An additional step has been introduced in the approval process for peer risk review, where the risk management team independently assesses and evaluates the risks. Residual risks are summarised in the form of a risk matrix with potential mitigations. Sensitivities are analysed for critical bid assumptions and related risks. All key risks are quantified, where feasible, in terms of rate of returns, and graphically presented, including potential upsides as well. This provides reasonable assurance on the project’s risk profile and ensures informed decision-making by management, the Board Risk Management Committee and the Board. This process is applied for all investments (greenfield, brownfield and acquisitions), divestments and changes in offtake agreements, if and when applicable.

Portfolio management

The Group focuses on developing scalable investment platforms and maintaining a portfolio with a technologically and geographically diversified asset base. As our portfolio risk landscape continues to evolve, the risk management function is involved to ensure identifying, assessing and constantly monitoring potential threats and opportunities that we could face to remain resilient on projects under construction as well as assets under operation. For our projects under construction, we remain actively engaged with our EPC contractors and encourage them to assess risks financially (by quantifying the potential risk), through schedule, quality, health and safety, and reputation. This gives more insight to the portfolio team to understand and act accordingly.

Operations & maintenance

The Group uses centralised expertise via NOMAC, a 100% owned O&M subsidiary of ACWA Power, to optimise the operation and maintenance of our fleet of assets diversified in technology and geography and ensure effective management and mitigation of risks associated with operational safety and reliability of supply.

Contractual risks are managed through an effective contract compliance and tracking mechanism; operational risks through robust operational and maintenance procedures including digitised condition monitoring and prediction; and supply and price risk is managed by a comprehensive and efficient Global supply chain management. In addition, the Group also plays a direct role in selecting its partners, contractors and technology for its projects to ensure an optimal solution for the project while reducing the overall exposure (directly or indirectly) to identified risks.
