Saudi: TADCO, SEC ink agreement for power transmission station
Riyadh - Tabuk Agricultural Development Company (TADCO) has signed an agreement with the National Electricity Transmission Company, a subsidiary of the Saudi Electricity Company.
Under the agreement, which is valid until 31 December 2026 or until project completion, TADCO will establish a power transmission station for its farm in the Tabuk region, according to a bourse filing.
The station, with a load capacity of 64 megavolt-amperes (MVA), will provide a stable electricity supply as part of the Kingdom's Liquid Fuel Displacement Program (LFDP).
The initiative aligns with the objectives of the energy system as well as the environment, water, and agriculture systems to reduce reliance on liquid fuels in electricity generation.
The project is expected to enhance operational efficiency, cut emissions, and improve network reliability without having a material financial impact on TADCO.
In the previous year, TADCO named Majid Ahmed Ibrahim Al Suwaigh as Chairman of the board for a three-year term.

UK to explore ‘clean' air travel
The UK government has announced its intent to back research into zero-emission flying, laser-beam manufacturing and cutting aircraft drag, to help boost the sustainability of the country's aerospace industry. Britain said they would invest the sum total 250 million pounds ($340 million) in green air travel technology. Britain said the funding for research and development projects led by Airbus, Rolls-Royce and a number of smaller companies and academic partnerships, would attract more private investment into the sector and add new jobs. Industry Minister Sarah Jones is due to announce the new funding at the Paris Airshow, backing a number of projects which include the development of infrastructure for testing liquid hydrogen systems, fuel cell systems and developing lightweight materials. The funding announcement came ahead of the government's industrial strategy and which will aim to help grow the country's defence and advanced manufacturing sectors. Jones said supporting the major contractors was 'incredibly important', but the government also wanted to encourage more start-ups in the sector. 'Getting the supply chain of smaller businesses ready is the challenge, and that's what we want to build up in the UK,' she said in an interview. Airbus UK chairman John Harrison said the funding gave the industry the confidence and stability needed to fuel innovation. 'It's initiatives like these that are absolutely critical to accelerating our decarbonisation journey and advancing sustainable, cutting-edge manufacturing,' he said.

South African assets sink on risk aversion after Israel's strike on Iran
South Africa's rand and government bonds fell steeply in early trade on Friday, 13 June 2025 after Israeli military strikes on Iran drove investors toward safe havens. At 0657 GMT, the risk-sensitive rand traded at 18.04 against the dollar, 1.6% weaker than Thursday's close. The rand had been on a strong run for weeks, helped by local coalition partners resolving a budget dispute, talk of a lower inflation target and strong precious metal prices. The escalation in hostilities in the Middle East - a major oil-producing region - adds a fresh layer of uncertainty for financial markets at a time of pressure on the global economy from US President Donald Trump's erratic trade policies. No major domestic data releases are due on Friday, but next week local consumer inflation and retail sales figures will be published. The yield on South Africa's benchmark 2035 government bond was up 16.5 basis points to 10.25%. All rights reserved. © 2022. Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc. (

Damac's EDGNEX to complete Phase 1 of its AI-focused data centre in Indonesia in Q4 2026
EDGNEX Data Centres by DAMAC, backed by Dubai-headquartered DAMAC Group, announced on Tuesday that the first phase of its $2.3 billion, 144 megawatt (MW) AI-powered data centre project in Jakarta, Indonesia is expected to start operations by December 2026. DAMAC completed the land acquisition for the data centre project, its second in the Southeast Asian nation, in March 2025, EDGENEX said in a press statement. 'This project is part of our broader push across SEA [Southeast Asia], where we have committed over $3 billion in digital infrastructure investments to date,' said Hussain Sajwani, Founder of DAMAC Group. EDGNEX is targeting 300+ MW of operational capacity in SEA by 2026. The new facility will target a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.32, significantly enhancing energy efficiencies and aligning with EDGNEX's global sustainability standards, the statement said. In 2024, EDGNEX announced its first data centre project in Indonesia, a planned 19.2 MW facility to be built at MT Haryono in Jakarta to address the growing demand for cloud service providers, edge nodes, and potential AI deployments. The first phase is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2026. (Editing by Anoop Menon) (
