Saudi-listed ACWA Power, the world’s largest private water desalination company, and a leader in energy transition and first mover into green hydrogen, announced its consolidated financial results for the full year ended 31 December 2024.
Operating income before impairment losses and other expenses stood at SAR 2,983 million amid unprecedented business growth, while net profit—attributable to equity holders of the parent—reached SAR 1,757 million for the period, 5.7% higher compared to the same period in 2023.
“We are very pleased with the results achieved in 2024. We are well on track to achieve the targets of tripling the size by 2030, and despite the costs ahead of the curve to accelerate investments we have maintained a solid profitability. Our unprecedented portfolio growth in 2024 included our entry into China and the launch of our second green hydrogen project while confirming ACWA Power as the largest private desalination company and a global leader in energy transition with over 69 GW of capacity. While we remain committed to being the best employer, a thought leader in our industry, and the preferred partner in every region we serve, we never lose sight of our mission, which extends far beyond powering the communities—it is about making a lasting contribution and creating a sustainable future for generations to come.” Said, Marco Arcelli, Chief Executive Officer of ACWA Power
During the year, we maintained stability in profits amid exceptional business growth. With the successful completion of 9 financial closes in 2024, amounting to a total investment of SAR 34.6 billion, we have over SAR 100 billion under construction – the largest portfolio in our history. We maintained our stable financial performance in the middle of this unprecedented growth in new businesses, which will begin bringing in new income and cash streams as they gradually achieve their critical project milestones and commercial operation dates, said Abdulhameed Al Muhaidib, Chief Financial Officer of ACWA Power
