2025/12/16 13:58

Saudi Arabia’s Acwa Power has completed the acquisition of power generation and water desalination assets in Kuwait and Bahrain from French utility company Engie.

The assets include a gas-fired power plant with capacity of 4.6 gigawatts (GW), water desalination assets with capacity of 1.1 million cubic feet per day, and related operation and maintenance (O&M) companies in Bahrain and Kuwait, Acwa Power said in a statement to the Saudi stock exchange.

In Kuwait, Acwa Power will acquire Engie’s 17.5 percent stake in the 1.5GW gas and desalination plant in Az Zour North and its 50 percent stake in the associated O&M company.

In Bahrain, the assets acquired include 45 percent stakes in the Al Dur and Al Ezzel renewable projects, and 100 percent of Al Ezzel O&M, which will oversee operations and maintenance at Al Dur and Al Ezzel. In addition, Acwa Power will acquire 30 percent of the Al Hidd O&M company.

All regulatory approvals in Bahrain have been received, but a few technical conditions remain in Kuwait, following which the transaction will be finalised, Acwa Power said.

The company disclosed in a bourse filing in February that the transaction cost was SAR2.6 billion ($693 million) and that it would add accretive recurring net income and free cash flow based on secured offtake contracts.

Acwa Power signed a joint development agreement this month with Bahrain-based Bapco Energies for a 2.8GW solar plant in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province.

All the electricity generated will be transmitted to Bapco’s load centre in Bahrain, accelerating the Gulf nation’s transition to renewable energy. 

In November Acwa Power secured SAR22.3 billion in funding for seven renewable projects in Saudi Arabia that will jointly generate 15,000 megawatts.

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund owns 44 percent of Acwa Power. The stock closed at SAR192 on Monday, down 50 percent year-to-date.

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales offload 200 million XRP leaving market uncertainty behind. XRP faces potential collapse as whales drive major price shifts. Is XRP’s future in danger after massive sell-off by whales? XRP’s price has been under intense pressure recently as whales reportedly offloaded a staggering 200 million XRP over the past two weeks. This massive sell-off has raised alarms across the cryptocurrency community, as many wonder if the market is on the brink of collapse or just undergoing a temporary correction. According to crypto analyst Ali (@ali_charts), this surge in whale activity correlates directly with the price fluctuations seen in the past few weeks. XRP experienced a sharp spike in late July and early August, but the price quickly reversed as whales began to sell their holdings in large quantities. The increased volume during this period highlights the intensity of the sell-off, leaving many traders to question the future of XRP’s value.

Can XRP Recover or Is a Bigger Decline Ahead? As the market absorbs the effects of the whale offload, technical indicators suggest that XRP may be facing a period of consolidation. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently sitting at 53.05, signals a neutral market stance, indicating that XRP could move in either direction. This leaves traders uncertain whether the XRP will break above its current resistance levels or continue to fall as more whales sell off their holdings. Source: Tradingview Additionally, the Bollinger Bands, suggest that XRP is nearing the upper limits of its range. This often points to a potential slowdown or pullback in price, further raising concerns about the future direction of the XRP. With the price currently around $3.02, many are questioning whether XRP can regain its footing or if it will continue to decline. The Aftermath of Whale Activity: Is XRP’s Future in Danger? Despite the large sell-off, XRP is not yet showing signs of total collapse. However, the market remains fragile, and the price is likely to remain volatile in the coming days. With whales continuing to influence price movements, many investors are watching closely to see if this trend will reverse or intensify. The coming weeks will be critical for determining whether XRP can stabilize or face further declines. The combination of whale offloading and technical indicators suggest that XRP’s price is at a crossroads. Traders and investors alike are waiting for clear signals to determine if the XRP will bounce back or continue its downward trajectory.
