Mr. Al-Fadly said: “Hassana is pleased to expand our partnership with EIG, a leader in the global energy and infrastructure sector. This agreement reflects our shared commitment to supporting the growth of infrastructure investment and facilitating the energy transition in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the rest of the region.”

Mr. Thomas commented: “We had the pleasure of working with Hassana on the Pearl Pipelines project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and are now looking forward to taking our relationship to the next level.”

He added: “We believe the energy transition is one of the defining investment themes of the next decades and leading investors must work together to deliver the reliable, affordable and sustainable energy system that society needs.” We are committed to doing just that do.”

Abdulaziz Al-Gudaimi, Chairman of EIG’s MENA Operations, said: “Hassana and EIG continue to make a difference in the Middle East energy scene. By deploying capital into innovative energy transition projects, we aim to build a sustainable future, stimulate the economy and strengthen the region’s commitment to clean energy solutions for many years to come.”
