The projects mark the first phase of Saudi Arabia’s battery storage program, designed to support its goal of 50% renewable energy by 2030. Each 500 MW facility will operate for four hours, providing 2,000 MWh of total power capacity, said the Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC).
The news of Huawei constructing the world’s second-largest off-grid battery energy storage project in Saudi Arabia has made headlines recently. This project has now achieved an energy storage capacity of 1.3 GWh. The Kingdom is investing heavily in renewable energy. The $500 billion NEOM city will run entirely on renewable energy.
Media reports that this will be the largest off-grid energy storage project in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest crude oil exporter, is committed to expanding its renewable energy sector under Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman bin Abdel Aziz Al Saud’s Vision 2030 plan proposed in 2016.
It will span three sites in Najran, Madaya, and Khamis Mushait of Saudi Arabia comprising ~ 7.8 million battery cells. Furthermore, the project is intended to last more than 15 years, with prominent challenges including climatic conditions, massive scale, critical logistics, and tight delivery schedules.
A Saudi Arabian entity that has been tasked with procuring electricity generation projects has commenced the process. Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) is licensed as the sole buyer of electrical energy. The government entity is soliciting bids for the development of four battery energy storage system (BESS) projects.
Speaking in 2021, the Saudi government expects to spend $293 billion on power and energy projects by then. The biggest share of this revenue is expected to be spent on transmission upgrades and renewable energy. The implementation of the world’s largest battery energy system (BESS) project progresses as Saudi Arabia begins qualification tenders.
LEVERAGING ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS IN MENA
Electrochemical storage (batteries) will be the leading energy storage solution in MENA in the short to medium terms, led by sodium-sulfur (NaS) and lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries. Several MENA countries - especially in the GCC - are equipped with competitive advantages in renewable plus storage procurement, due to the availability of vast lands and low-cost solar and wind …
