The Potential of Utility-Scale Battery Energy Storage in
Saudi Arabia has committed to generating 50% of its power from renewables by 2030, but they need to be supported with BESS. Lithium-ion BESS has reached commercial
Projections indicate that Saudi Arabia aims to operate 8 GWh of energy storage projects by 2025 and 22 GWh by 2026, positioning the nation as the third-largest global market for energy storage, following China and the United States.
This surge in energy storage capacity is complemented by Saudi Arabia's strategic investments in the lithium supply chain, a critical component for battery production. Saudi Aramco, in partnership with state-owned mining company Ma'aden, plans to commence commercial lithium production by 2027.
In Saudi Arabia, each of the two awarded rounds of the Renewable Energy Project Development Ofice (REPDO) auctions, totaling 2.17 GW, in addition to the PIF-led projects, has received record-low prices. The 300 MW Sakkaka solar PV project, the first project under REPDO, set a record tarif of 1.34 USD cents/kWh in February 2018.
This facility stands as one of the largest energy storage projects in the Middle East and Africa. The Bisha BESS, owned by Saudi Electric Company, comprises 122 prefabricated storage units designed and supplied by China's BYD.
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.
In MENA, Li-Ion batteries have a significant share of the battery grid-scale applications coupled with solar energy systems. The operational capacities range from 0.1 MW in Morocco's Demostene Green Energy Park to 23 MW in Al Badiya Solar-Plus-Storage at Al-Mafraq in Jordan.
