The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts for the three energy storage system projects recently awarded in Saudi Arabia are estimated to be worth over $800m.
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.
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.
In this project, Sungrow will build a 7.8 GW energy storage system to boost Saudi Arabia’s power grid stability and reliability. Media reports that this will be the largest off-grid energy storage project in the Middle East.
Each SPV will enter into a 15-year Storage Services Agreement with SPPC. As part of Vision 2030, KSA aims to supply 50% of its electricity from renewable energy by 2030 and has set a clear plan to transition its energy mix towards solar, wind and other renewable energy sources.
According to Sungrow, each project will have a capacity of 2.6GWh, totalling 7.8GWh. The three storage projects are located in Najran, Madaya and Khamis Mushait in Saudi Arabia. Sungrow added that deliveries are expected to commence this year, and the grid connection is anticipated by 2025.
