In a major step toward sustainability, Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah Economic Development Company (JEDCO) has partnered with national energy services company Tarshid to improve energy efficiency at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah. The partnership aims to reduce energy consumption, streamline operations, and improve overall environmental performance at the busy airport. The collaboration is part of Saudi Arabia’s broader efforts to promote sustainability and reduce carbon emissions in line with the goals of Vision 2030. As one of the largest and busiest airports in the region, the airport will benefit from a series of energy-efficient upgrades that will help streamline operations and minimize energy waste.
The focus of this partnership is to introduce cutting-edge technologies to monitor and manage energy consumption across a range of airport facilities. The project includes the installation of smart systems to monitor and regulate energy consumption, ensuring the airport operates in an environmentally responsible manner. These systems will also help reduce operating costs in the long term. A key aspect of the project is an energy-efficient lighting system and improved air conditioning systems to replace older, less efficient models.
The plan also includes optimizing the airport’s water use and improving thermal energy management, which will play a key role in reducing energy consumption during peak periods. Saudi authorities said this collaboration with Tarshid will not only advance sustainability efforts but also support the country’s broader green economy initiatives. By pursuing these projects in prestigious locations such as King Abdulaziz International Airport, Saudi Arabia is setting an example for other businesses and industries in the region. The JEDCO-Tarshid partnership is expected to deliver long-term environmental benefits, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, while supporting the country’s goal of becoming a leader in energy conservation and sustainable development.
