BYD''s 12.5GWh Saudi Arabia Project: Powering Vision 2030 with
Discover how BYD Energy Storage''s groundbreaking 12.5GWh BESS project in Saudi Arabia is revolutionizing grid-scale energy storage, advancing Vision 2030 goals, and
BESS stores energy during off-peak hours, releasing it during peak times to reduce strain on the grid. Impact: BESS enables Riyadh to integrate more renewable energy, supporting urban projects while maintaining grid stability. Urban Energy Demand: Riyadh's population is projected to reach 8 million by 2030.
Updated August 29, 2025: Saudi Arabia has made major advances in its BESS projects as it launches one of Middle East's largest BESS deployments, a 4GWh BESS project. The nation's battery storage drive comes as HiTHIUM is commissioned with a 4 GWh BESS project in a joint venture between the Saudi Electricity Company and Alfanar.
In Saudi Arabia, where renewable energy adoption is accelerating, BESS plays a pivotal role in integrating solar and wind power into the grid. With the Kingdom targeting 8 GWh of energy storage by 2025 and 22 GWh by 2030, BESS is a cornerstone of its energy transition. Renewable Integration: Giga-projects like NEOM aim for 100% renewable energy.
The Middle East is making effort in energy projects other than the world's largest BESS project. The UAE has broken ground on the world's largest solar and BESS project, first of its kind.
