Tarshid Launches Solar Panels Installation Project at Institute of Public Administration in Riyadh

The National Energy Services Company (Tarshid) and the Institute of Public Administration in Riyadh have launched a solar panel installation project across the institute’s buildings and facilities. The initiative, according to a Tarshid press release, aims to improve energy efficiency and reduce electricity consumption through on-site solar energy generation for self-consumption, aligned with global standards and sustainable best practices.

 Board Member and CEO of Tarshid Waled Abdullah Al-Ghreri stated that the company conducted comprehensive field surveys and technical studies to assess the potential for improving energy performance across the institute’s facilities. Based on the findings, Tarshid proceeded with the installation of rooftop solar panel systems, introducing a critical efficiency measure that supports clean, renewable electricity production for internal use. The total installed system capacity across all buildings is 682 kilowatts, projected to save approximately one million kilowatt-hours annually.

 The project, said the release, targets a reduction in annual electricity consumption from 25.5 million kWh to 24.4 million kWh, the equivalent environmental impact of saving more than 1,700 barrels of oil annually and avoiding approximately 600 metric tons of carbon emissions each year, comparable to planting over 10,000 tree seedlings annually.

 Tarshid seeks, through this project, to serve the Kingdom's strategic sustainability goal stemming from Vision 2030, and achieve energy savings and reduce carbon emissions.
