Speaking on the opening day of the Global Energy Utilities Forum (GEUF) on 7 March, Jens Madrian, executive director of NEOM Energy at NEOM, discussed how Saudi Arabia’s US$500bn futuristic development will achieve its goal of a 100% renewable city. 

The four pillars of NEOM’s strategy include a 100% renewable, carbon free energy system at the lowest cost with a secured supply, leading integrated customer experience, clean energy-intensive industries, and an energy innovation ecosystem. With numerous challenges facing such an ambitious plan, digital innovation is fundamental if NEOM is to deliver its vision.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity to build an innovative carbon free energy system from scratch,” said Madrian.
