Proposed change

Hi, full disclosure: I am an employee of ACWA Power working in the Marketing and Communications team. I would like to make some changes to the article in good faith, in order to make sure the information is accurate and up-to-date. Please review my changes below -- all the information has been sourced to independent third parties, apart from one line on employee numbers which comes from a document from ACWA Power posted on the Saudi Exchange website. All feedback on my proposed edits is very welcome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MferrariACWA (talkcontribs) 07:11, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MferrariACWA: I'd like to help, but don't see any sources for the updated information you're requesting to have added. There's a list of sources, but they appear to be from the older content. Can you add proper inline citations for the new information? STEMinfo (talk) 00:56, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
