Is Saudi Arabia’s huge planning installed capacity doubtable? When I wrote two weeks ago that Saudi Arabia is targeting 41-GW of solar electricity generation, a sceptical friend rightly asked me to check this number. I was quoting the American Energy Information Administration Country analysis report. The concrete data of planning installed …
