Saudi Arabia has evinced interest to develop small modular nuclear reactors in order to generate electricity for remote areas of the kingdom.

The kingdom’s Minister of Energy, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, said that Saudi Arabia isn’t looking for funding from any country to help it with its energy transition plan. These small reactors, also known as SMRs, will help to generate electricity to power remote areas.

He told GEC 2022 in Riyadh that the Kingdom will develop more technologies at home to limit the risk to the planet.
