The new headquarters will showcase ACWA Power as the local champion for energy transition, through a state-of-the-art facility specifically designed to unify the company’s operations and also reflect its commitment to sustainability in alignment with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. It will meet the highest standards of green building and incorporate various Net Zero requirements to minimise the environmental impact.

Our new headquarters will be more than just a building; it will be a symbol of our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the Kingdom’s goals for a cleaner, more prosperous future.”
Jameel Alhamdan, Chief Corporate Banking Officer, Alinma Bank, added: “Alinma is proud to announce its role as the sole financier for the development of ACWA Power’s new state-of-the-art, environmentally sustainable head office. This landmark project aligns with both organisations’ commitment to driving sustainability and innovation and with the Kingdom’s Net Zero strategy.”
