Hail, a region in northern Saudi Arabia, is known for its agricultural prominence and cultural heritage. With vast farmlands and a history of resilience, it plays a vital role in the Kingdom’s food security and rural economy. Within this thriving region, Hayet stands as a crucial agricultural hub. The demand for reliable energy in this area is growing, driven by its farming needs and increasing modernization. Energia responded to this challenge with the Hayet Power Plant project, designed to power progress responsibly.

The Challenge: Reliable Power in Difficult Terrain

Hayet’s remote location and challenging terrain presented unique difficulties. The project site had high earthing resistance due to the rocky substrate, creating complications for grounding the power systems. Additionally, the facility needed to generate a stable 10 MW output at 34.5 KV to meet the region’s energy requirements. Energia’s team was tasked with delivering a solution that could address these issues while ensuring environmental safety and operational efficiency.
