Red Sea Global installs over 750,000 photovoltaic panels at The Red Sea destination

Red Sea Global (RSG), the visionary force driving The Red Sea and Amaala destinations, continues to pioneer environmentally responsible practices at the forefront of its ethos.

In a resolute pursuit of this mission, RSG proudly announces the completion of a monumental solar farm installation as part of phase one for The Red Sea destination. An impressive assembly of more than 750,000 photovoltaic panels now graces the landscape, a testament to RSG's dedication to powering the first 16 hotels, alongside retail and entertainment venues, and all vital infrastructure using renewable energy.

John Pagano, CEO of Red Sea Global, remarked, "We committed to embracing a novel approach from the outset, and establishing the world's largest destination exclusively powered by renewable sources was a pivotal facet of that commitment. This achievement marks a significant juncture as we finalize the deployment of the five solar farms requisite for phase one of The Red Sea. It propels our vision of an environment illuminated by the sun's energy, both day and night, one step closer to fruition."

Complementing this landmark installation, RSG is concurrently erecting the planet's largest battery storage facility, boasting a staggering 1,200 MWh capacity. This strategic move empowers the destination to operate autonomously, free from the national grid's reliance, while drawing upon its self-generated solar energy. In alignment with its overarching dedication to sustainability and regeneration, both The Red Sea and Amaala are unwaveringly committed to realizing the ambitions outlined in Saudi Vision 2030. These ambitions are fueled by an array of experiences underpinned by renewable energy sources, aligning seamlessly with the broader Saudi Green Initiative.

In yet another monumental feat, RSG has accomplished the establishment of its inaugural mangrove nursery. This pivotal initiative represents a cornerstone of its objective to transplant 50 million mangrove trees by 2030, a commitment harmonizing with the objectives of the Saudi Green Initiative and RSG's larger commitment to nurturing and reviving the ecological vibrancy of Saudi Arabia's Red Sea Coast.

Raed Albasseet, Group Chief Environment and Sustainability Officer at Red Sea Global, underlined the significance of this initiative: "Cultivating a sustainable mangrove ecosystem and fostering its conservation are integral to safeguarding and enriching the natural ecosystem of our destination. Mangrove trees stand as exceptional carbon sequestration agents, capable of absorbing 5-10 times more carbon compared to other plants. The triumph of nurturing seedlings stands as a foundational element in our mission to achieve a 30% net conservation benefit across our projects."

Crafted in collaboration with the National Center for Vegetation Cover (NCVC), the nursery has achieved the successful cultivation of 150,000 seedlings to date, with a grand objective of nurturing a total of 500,000 seedlings. This thriving generation will subsequently be transplanted across the sprawling expanse of The Red Sea projects.
