The program is being implemented in collaboration with Yellow Door Energy, with a total expected capacity of 2.7 MW upon completion.
Saudia Dairy and Foodstuff Company (SADAFCO) continues to expand the use of renewable energy across its operations through its solar program, which covers seven company sites in collaboration with Yellow Door Energy. This initiative forms part of the company’s efforts to advance sustainability and reduce the environmental impact of its operations.
As part of the latest phase of the program, SADAFCO has completed the installation and testing of solar systems at four warehouses in Riyadh, Makkah, Yanbu, and Tabuk. Installation work is ongoing at the company’s three remaining factories: the milk factory, tomato paste factory, and ice cream factory.
SADAFCO has applied to Yellow Door Energy for commissioning permits for the four sites and expects to receive them within the next two weeks.
The program covers storage, distribution, and production facilities, reflecting the gradual expansion of solar energy use across SADAFCO’s facilities and supporting greater reliance on renewable energy sources across its operations.
Upon completion of the program across all seven sites, the total capacity of the solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is expected to reach 2.7 MW, generating approximately 4.73 million kWh of electricity annually. The program is also expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 3,200 tonnes, according to estimates provided by the project team.
The completion of system installation and testing at the four sites marks an important milestone in the program’s implementation. Work continues at the three remaining factories, paving the way for the project’s completion and achievement of its targeted total solar capacity.
