Saudi Energy has signed three strategic agreements aimed at strengthening digital infrastructure for data and artificial intelligence (AI) centres in Saudi Arabia and meeting their growing energy requirements.

The agreements were signed during Saudi Energy’s participation as a strategic sponsor at LEAP 2026 and are designed to support reliable and resilient infrastructure capable of keeping pace with the Kingdom’s expanding digital economy and advanced technology sector.

Under the first agreement, National Grid SA and HUMAIN will cooperate on providing electricity to an AI data centre project in Riyadh.

The agreement covers the project’s electrical infrastructure and is intended to accommodate its future energy needs as operations expand.

Saudi Electricity Project Development Company (PDC), a Saudi Energy subsidiary, signed a framework agreement with center3 to establish a strategic partnership covering future data centre and energy infrastructure projects in the Kingdom.

The partnership aims to support the expansion of the data centre sector and strengthen integration between digital and energy infrastructure.

PDC also signed a memorandum of understanding with Huawei to enhance cooperation on data and AI centre projects, digital infrastructure and related energy solutions.

The agreement includes the exchange of engineering and technical expertise and the exploration of future areas of collaboration.

Saudi Energy said the three agreements reflect its efforts to anticipate the Kingdom’s future energy requirements as demand from data and AI centres accelerates.

The partnerships are expected to support the development and expansion of related projects and investments while strengthening the infrastructure needed for Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation.

By linking energy capabilities with digital infrastructure development, the agreements aim to create a stronger foundation for high-impact technology investments and help the Kingdom sustain its rapid growth in AI, data centres and other advanced digital technologies. -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
