WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Saudi Arabia announced plans to expand its use of solar energy by building the kingdom's first solar-powered water desalination plant.
The program launched by the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology aims to couple green-energy technology with a stable water supply for the future of Saudi Arabia.
Turki bin Saud bin Mohammad, vice president of research at KACST, said the program will save the kingdom money while moving forward with a plan to advance solar energy projects in the country.
