AN EPIC 10-YEAR LEGACY

Previously under the established name of MENASOL, MENA New Energy will bring you more
highlights than ever before including discussions on wind and storage.
The MENA region is full of commercial opportunities for developers, EPCs, suppliers, consultants and other key
stakeholders. In 2018, here are some of the big tenders which you can’t afford to miss:
SAUDI ARABIA: Round 2 of the NREP The RFQs for Round Two of Saudi Arabia’s National Renewable Energy
Program will go live during the last quarter of 2017. The projects will feature tenders for 1,020 MW of capacity, comprising
a 400MW wind farm in Doumat Al Jandal and 620 MW of solar-PV projects across various sites.

KUWAIT: Dibdibah Solar Power Plant Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC), a subsidiary of Kuwait
Petroleum Corporation (KPC), invited expressions of interest for the Dibdibah solar-power plant in May 2017, with a
submission deadline of September 7, 2017 (extended to September 28).

MOROCCO: Noor Midelt Solar Hybrid Complex Noor Midelt Phase I consists of two solar hybrid plants, each
with 150-190 MW CSP capacity and a minimum of five hours of thermal storage. The capacity of the PV component,
which is expected to provide daytime generation, is left to the bidders’ discretion, but cannot exceed night-time CSP net
capacity by more than 20%.

TUNISIA: Solar & Wind Power Auction The Tunisian government, through the Department of Energy, invited
tenders for 70 MW of solar and 140 MW of wind energy projects in May 2017. With a budget of around $164.2 million,
the auction includes small-scale and utility scale plants.

EGYPT: Gulf of Suez Wind Farm Egypt’s New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA) invited pre-qualifications for
this project between 20 April and 29 May 2017. The scope of work entails the design, construction and commissioning
of a 250 MW wind farm in the Gulf of Suez, to be built under a turnkey EPC contract.
