Neom, nestled in the desert expanse of Saudi Arabia's northern Tabuk Province, represents one such forward-thinking development. This smart city is committed to running entirely on renewable energy sources, including solar power and green hydrogen, supported by advanced technologies such as 5G networks, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and robotics. The Neom Mountain substation, once completed, will become an integral component of this green and intelligent metropolis, stated Hyundai in its press release.
