To date, Saudi Arabia has achieved significant milestones in the energy storage sector. With the official launch and operation of the Bisha Energy Storage Project, Saudi Arabia has successfully entered the ranks of the top ten global energy storage markets.
Saudi Arabia's Energy Minister, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, stated at an event that Saudi Arabia plans to deploy 48GWh of battery energy storage systems by 2030.
The project is among several large-scale battery storage initiatives being developed in Saudi Arabia. In an ongoing procurement, the Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) is tendering four 500 MW / 2,000 MWh BESS projects.
According to Saudi Arabia's plans, the installed capacity of energy storage will show a rapid growth trend. In the short term, Saudi Arabia plans to have 8GWh of energy storage projects in operation by 2025, and this figure will increase to 22GWh by 2026.
