Saudi Arabia,
. . . has announced it will shortly be issuing tenders for the construction of more than
. . . £40 billion worth of solar, and wind energy projects spread over the next
. . . 12 years, as well as considering the building of the country’s
. . . 1st nuclear power station.
It is also building a new green city called Neom.

Although this announcement projects Saudi Arabia as an environmentally conscious nation,
. . . much of the decision is thought to stem from the fact,
. . . the country is being hard hit by:
. . . . . . downturn in oil revenue,
. . . . . . Increasing concern over climate change, and
. . . . . . the fact the country has already had to draw hard on its reserves,
. . . . . . has exacerbated its concerns for the future of fossil fuel energy.
