Acwa, the Saudi Arabia-based energy and water desalination company, plans to invest at least $30 billion over the next five years in China, targeting the country’s booming renewables, green hydrogen, and desalination markets.
Saleh Khabti, President of Acwa China, emphasized that the company sees China as a long-term growth engine, noting the country’s track record of sustaining economic expansion and implementing large-scale social development even amid global uncertainties.
China’s green transition and carbon targets—peaking emissions before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060—create clear, long-term investment opportunities for overseas energy companies. Coupled with supportive policies for foreign investors, China is emerging as a strategic hub for renewable energy, innovative technologies, and high-standard infrastructure projects.
“China has demonstrated its ability to navigate challenges while sustaining growth, giving long-term investors strong confidence,” Khabti said at the China Development Forum 2026 in Beijing.
The country’s policy environment and industrial strength provide foreign firms not only a domestic market but also a platform for global operational efficiency, leveraging Chinese innovation, manufacturing capabilities, and supply chains.
