ACWA Power bags $100m credit facility from state-owned China Construction Bank

This will be used to fund its projects in the Middle East and Belt & Road countries.

Dubai-based ACWA Power signed a $100m three-year revolving credit facility deal with state-owned lender China Construction Bank (DIFC Branch) to support its power and water generation projects in the Middle East and Belt & Road countries.

In a statement, ACWA Power said the revolving credit facility will boost the diversification of the company’s financing sources and will allow the continuous delivery of low-carbon utility infrastructure projects.

The revolving credit facility by China Construction Bank (DIFC Branch) is an outcome of the ongoing collaboration between ACWA Power and Chinese entities, boosting our near-term liquidity and funding flexibility as we pursue strategic growth opportunities,” said ACWA Power CFO Abdulhameed Al Muhaidib.

“Most importantly, it goes to show the confidence that financiers have in our business performance and in our ability to deliver large-scale projects of transformative social and economic value,” he added.

ACWA Power and the Bank started collaborations in 2016 with the financing for the 2,400-megawatt (MW) Hassyan power plant in the United Arab Emirates, the 485MW Zarqa gas power plant in Jordan, and the 1,500MW Sidarya combined cycle gas turbine power plant in Uzbekistan.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
