Recently, MC New Energy has successively won two core bids in the Saudi PIF6 photovoltaic super project, partnering with PowerChina and Energy China respectively to provide a full set of PV meteorological monitoring systems for the 6.8GW total installed capacity PIF6 giant power station cluster invested and developed by ACWA Power, a world-renowned energy developer. Following its successful participation in the Saudi PIF4 project, this marks another milestone breakthrough for MC in the Middle East market, further consolidating MC’s international position as a leader in extreme environment meteorological monitoring.

I. Bid Details: Partnering with Two Major Central Enterprises to Consolidate Cooperation Foundation

This winning bid covers three core sections of the PIF6 project, all with ACWA Power as the owner. Relying on its strong product strength and rich overseas project experience, MC New Energy has become the main supplier of meteorological monitoring equipment in this round of PV super projects.

Partnering with PowerChina to Secure 4.8GW Core Section

MC New Energy has officially received the bid-winning notice from PowerChina, and will provide high-precision PV meteorological stations for the two sub-projects AFIF1 (2.4GW) and AFIF2 (2.4GW) of the Saudi PIF6 project invested by ACWA Power. Located in the central desert of Saudi Arabia, the AFIF cluster is the largest continuous construction block in the PIF6 plan. MC meteorological stations will undertake all environmental monitoring tasks in this area, covering key parameters such as total solar radiation, reflected radiation, wind speed and direction, temperature and humidity, air pressure and rainfall, providing real-time and accurate data support for power generation prediction and intelligent operation and maintenance of the power station to ensure efficient and stable operation.

Partnering with Energy China to Win 2GW Project Order

In the same period, MC New Energy has successfully won the supply contract for meteorological stations of the PIF6 Al-Fursan 2GW PV project undertaken by Energy China, also with ACWA Power as the owner. Located in western Saudi Arabia, the Al-Fursan project features more complex climatic conditions, posing extremely high requirements for equipment’s high temperature resistance, sand dust resistance and long-term stability. Thanks to its excellent performance in the previous Saudi PIF4 Al-Fursan 2GW project—continuous trouble-free operation of equipment with data accuracy exceeding 99%—MC has once again gained high recognition and repeat purchase trust from Energy China and the owner ACWA Power.

II. Project Background: Saudi PIF6—World’s Top PV Cluster with Severe Extreme Environment Challenges

Saudi PIF6 (Public Investment Fund 6) is a national-level renewable energy plan under the framework of Saudi Arabia’s “Vision 2030”, with ACWA Power as the core investor and developer. It aims to build a world-leading photovoltaic power generation cluster to support Saudi Arabia’s energy transition and promote the global carbon neutrality goal. As a key project of ACWA Power, its total global renewable energy installed capacity has increased to 51.9GW, and the PIF6 project is a crucial move for its in-depth development in the Saudi local market.

The project sites are all typical desert climates, with summer ambient temperature often exceeding 50℃, relative humidity up to over 95%, accompanied by frequent sandstorms and strong ultraviolet radiation, putting stringent requirements on the extreme environmental adaptability of electronic equipment. MC meteorological stations stand out from many international bidders thanks to their robust product strength tailored for the extreme climate in the Middle East, perfectly matching the project’s environmental needs.

III. Product Advantages: Customized for Extreme Climate in the Middle East

Targeting the extreme environmental challenges of high temperature above 50℃, 95% high humidity, sandstorms and strong ultraviolet radiation faced by the Saudi PIF6 project, MC meteorological stations are designed with targeted features, passing strict verification with high precision, high reliability and high stability:

Wide temperature operation: Adapt to the extreme temperature range of -55℃~85℃, easily coping with large diurnal temperature differences and extreme summer high temperatures in desert areas;

Robust protection: Adopt IP67 + anodized aluminum alloy shell, with excellent salt spray and sandstorm resistance, suitable for long-term use in harsh desert environments;

High-precision measurement: Support ultrasonic wind speed measurement of 0~70m/s with accuracy of ±2%, realizing integrated monitoring of multiple elements such as radiation, temperature and humidity, air pressure and rainfall (optional as needed);

Authoritative certification: Passed many international authoritative certifications including ISO9001. ISO14001. ISO18001. CLASS A (IEC 61724-1), CE & EMC, ensuring quality.

IV. China’s Intelligent Manufacturing: Deepening the Belt and Road Initiative to Boost Global Energy Transition

Saudi Arabia is an important partner along the “Belt and Road”, and the PIF series projects are an important stage for Chinese new energy equipment enterprises to demonstrate their technical strength and expand international markets. With deep roots in the field of extreme environment meteorological monitoring, MC New Energy helps achieve Saudi Arabia’s “Vision 2030” energy transition goals with high-precision, high-reliability and high-stability products, showcases the hard power of China’s intelligent manufacturing to the world, and contributes Chinese strength to the global carbon neutrality goal.

As a trusted global partner for PV meteorological monitoring, MC New Energy will continue to focus on R&D and innovation of extreme environment products in the new energy meteorological monitoring field, expand the global market, and boost the high-quality development of the global renewable energy industry with better products and services.
