K+N: wind turbine equipment to Saudi Arabia
Kuehne + Nagel has secured a contract from global wind turbine supplier Envision Energy to transport 190 wind turbine generators and 67 tower sets to Saudi Arabia’s new special economic zone.
Expected to be completed in 2025, the project involves the specialised transport of 1.4 million t of equipment with over 100 people employed. A dedicated office has been established in the city of Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
Neom, also home to The Line, is a special economic zone in the northwest of Saudi Arabia and is intended to become a model for sustainable urban living powered entirely by renewable energy.
When completed, the Neom wind farm will generate 1.67 GW of renewable energy to power the plant of the Neom Green Hydrogen Company, the world's largest facility for producing hydrogen on a large scale. (mk)
