Wind Energy on SAUDI VISION 2030 Intelligence Platform

Dumat Al Jandal Wind Farm

The Dumat Al Jandal wind farm is Saudi Arabia’s first utility-scale wind project: a 400MW plant in Al Jouf that proved wind power could compete commercially inside the Kingdom. It anchors the wind-energy side of Saudi Arabia’s renewable energy programme under Vision 2030 and remains a reference point for developers, lenders, and investors.

Project Overview

The Dumat Al Jandal wind farm comprises 99 wind turbines, each with a capacity of approximately 4 MW, spread across a site in the Al Jouf region near the historic city of Dumat Al Jandal. The project was procured through the National Renewable Energy Programme’s competitive bidding process and achieved a record-low tariff at the time of its award.

Saudi Arabia Renewable Energy Capacity Target 2030

Saudi Arabia’s renewable energy capacity target for 2030 is roughly 130 gigawatts (GW), enough to supply 50 per cent of electricity from renewable sources under Vision 2030. The build-out is led by solar photovoltaic and wind, alongside a parallel 42 GW of new gas-fired generation to replace crude-burning baseload. Cumulative awarded capacity has now passed 47 GW under signed power purchase agreements, while operational capacity in early 2026 stands closer to 12 GW. The gap between ambition and on-grid megawatts defines the remainder of the decade for Saudi renewable energy companies and the global supply chain serving them.
