That thing alone is going to produce ~1.5% of all electricity in the world (assuming ~23% capacity factor which is what i expect in Saudi Arabia), even accounting for growth of electricity consumption by the time it is built out.

What are they going to do with all that electricity, especially given it is intermittent?

To me, the project sounds like a PR BS because it is too expensive and i can't see a use for it.
