en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, Goldwind shipped the first batch of wind power equipment for the Saudi PIF5 3GW wind power project, including 12 nacelles, 9 sets of blades, and supporting hoisting tools, departing from Changshu Port for Saudi Arabia, marking the official entry into the delivery phase of the world's largest onshore wind farm under construction.
Tailored for the local harsh environment with year-round high temperatures and frequent sandstorms, Goldwind provides the GWH204-10MW model, enhancing environmental adaptability designs such as sand resistance and heat tolerance to ensure operational reliability under extreme conditions. It is paired with a self-developed 148-meter steel-concrete hybrid tower, which withstands temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celsius through material innovation. Goldwind's local tower manufacturing plant in Shaqra has been fully operational, providing localized supply chain support for the construction of the Saudi wind power project.
The PIF5 project, jointly developed by Saudi ACWA Power, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), and Saudi Aramco, consists of two sites: the 1GW Shaqra and the 2GW Starah. It is a key component of Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" renewable energy development plan. Once fully operational, the Saudi wind power project is expected to generate approximately 11.3 billion kWh of electricity annually, accounting for about 2.4% of Saudi Arabia's total national power generation in 2024, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by over 9.3 million tons per year.
This project also reflects that wind power, as a clean energy source, is entering the power structure of traditional oil and gas giants. Goldwind previously signed the project agreement in October 2025, providing a full lifecycle solution from equipment to operation and maintenance, thereby expanding its global business to 48 countries across 6 continents. With the shipment of the first batch of equipment, the project has entered the substantive delivery phase. Goldwind will collaborate with industry chain partners to advance subsequent delivery and installation work.
