Saudi Arabia and Turkiye have signed a major Saudi Agreement for Turkish Energy projects advancing cooperation on clean power development and long-term economic partnership. The pact was finalised during the visit of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to Riyadh on February 3–4, 2026, with energy ministers from both nations signing agreements focused on expanding renewable power capacity and investment.
Officials said the agreement will support development of large-scale solar and wind power plants in Turkiye, reinforcing both countries’ efforts to diversify energy sources and accelerate the transition to sustainable power.
Key Areas of the Saudi Agreement for Turkish Energy Projects in Renewable Energy
- 5,000 MW capacity target: Joint plan for solar and wind plants in Turkiye
- Phase One implementation: Two solar plants totalling 2,000 MW in Sivas and Karaman provinces
- Initial investment: About $2 billion in clean energy projects
- Electricity supply: Projects expected to power millions of homes with renewable energy
- Long-term cooperation: Frameworks for future renewable development
This development aligns with broader renewable energy investment in Saudi Arabia trends and the kingdom’s Strategy to meet Vision 2030 sustainability goals. It also reflects progress seen in major projects such as the Wadi Al Dawasir Solar PV Project, which further highlights the expanding role of clean energy across the region.
