The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia announced for Saudi Energy 2014 that the nation plans to invest US $109 billion to generate 41GW of solar energy by 2032, representing almost 30% of total energy demand by that time.
Saudi Energy 2014, the International Trade Exhibition for Electricity, Power Generation, Alternative Energy, Water Technology and Lighting, will take place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during May 26th and 28th at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center.
