Abstract

This data insight takes a closer look at the costs associated with developing the necessary power infrastructure in order to electrify the existing and future rail networks in Saudi Arabia. Calculating these costs allows policymakers to better understand the capital costs and maintenance costs of building substations and other ancillary infrastructure across KSA in order to operate an electrified rail network.
