The projects mark the first phase of Saudi Arabia's ambitious 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 SPPC, at the following locations:
The 12.5GWh energy storage systems will be fully integrated into Saudi Arabia's power transmission network system, playing a crucial role in addressing the challenges accumulated by the increasing number of renewable energy power generation systems, ensuring stable power supply, and meeting peak energy demand.
According to recently reported remarks from energy minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saud from an event held in the Kingdom, the country is targeting the deployment of 48GWh of battery storage by the end of this decade.
In addition to public-private partnerships such as through SPPC, Saudi Arabia will host gigawatt-hour scale battery storage facilities to integrate renewable energy at major infrastructure projects such as the Red Sea Project coastal tourist destination. Image: Red Sea Global.
