SUNPURE , leading global supplier of PV robotic cleaning solution, announces the signing of a major contract with Larsen & Toubro (L&T) for supply of intelligent cleaning robots for the world’s largest utility-scale hydrogen plant powered entirely by renewable energy.

The mega plant is located at Oxagon, in Saudi Arabia’s region of NEOM.

The NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC) aims to produce carbon-free hydrogen using solely renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power to produce up to 600 tonnes per day of carbon-free hydrogen by the end of 2026. This collaboration marks a major milestone in advancing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s 2030 Vision for a clean and sustainable energy future.

Larsen & Toubro was awarded the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract to construct a 2.2 GWac PV Solar Plant, a 1.65 GW Wind Generation Balance of Plant, and a 400 MWh Battery Energy Storage System under the Power Elements package. It will also construct 3 Nos of 380 kV Switching Stations, 306 KM of 380 kV Overhead lines required for the Kingdom’s Grid network.

On behalf of SUNPURE , Ms. Zoe Yuran Hu, Chairman & CEO, expressed her delight in signing this project: “L&T’s choice of Sunpure as a partner reaffirms our leading position and industry expertise in the global PV cleaning industry. The recognition and support from industry leaders like L&T invigorate us, propelling our journey toward the next milestone. We remain committed to striving as the world’s foremost provider of PV robotic cleaning solutions”.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Ravindran .A , Senior Vice Present & Head of Renewable SBG, Larsen & Toubro said, “We firmly believe that through collaboration with Sunpure, we can leverage our technological and resource strengths to jointly drive the energy transition and sustainable development in the PV power plants.”

Sunpure’s intelligent PV cleaning solution boasts unique advantages, including water-free cleaning, module-friendly techniques, and high cleaning efficiency. Through its SmartPure cloud platform, robots exhibit intelligence, convenience, efficiency, and secure remote monitoring and management methods. This solution significantly reduces operational costs, alleviates O&M pressures, and lowers the LCOE, ultimately enhancing the profitability of PV plants.

Neom Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC) is an equal joint venture between ACWA Power, NEOM, and Air Products.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious plan to lead the global transition to clean and sustainable energy aligns perfectly with NEOM’s role as the flagship project in this commitment.
