Al-Babtain Power & Telecommunication Co.’s board of directors has agreed to set up a fully owned wind power company in Riyadh with a capital of SAR 5 million.

 

The set-up would be subject to regulatory approvals and it is expected to be completed during Q2 2017, the company said in a statement to Tadawul on Sunday.

 

The new entity would be a limited liability company and there are no related parties involved, it added.
