Experiencing concepts take shape into reality is a special feeling, and that’s what we are seeing with NEOM. The futuristic Saudi Arabian city is hitting another milestone: 600 tons of equipment on-site, 4 gigawatts of renewable energy coming online, and $8.4 billion in investment to keep the momentum going. As NEOM hits the 80% complete mark, the ambitious plan has nearly materialized.

Harnessing renewable power and investment to redefine the future of energy With extensive renewable energy resources and determined investment, NEOM is redefining energy for the future. Solar panels shine under the desert sun, wind turbines rotate gracefully on the horizon, and billions of dollars are invested into the development of a new, clean, reliable, and transformative energy infrastructure.

This is about more than just electricity; it is about creating a system whereby energy serves people, communities, and the planet in a way that makes audacious ideas real, sustainable for generations to come.

What does it mean to be 80% done? Many of the major components are in place: solar farms, wind turbines, transmission grids, hydrogen production units and facilities, etc. It means the cables are going in, the equipment is being put in place, and is being commissioned.

NEOM is moving from the stage of “what if” to the stage of “almost done”.
