Saudi Arabia has officially commissioned its largest battery energy storage system (BESS) to the grid, signifying a pivotal advancement in the nation's renewable energy expansion endeavors.
This project is one of several large-scale battery storage initiatives underway in Saudi Arabia.
Energy storage is a vital component of this transition, providing grid flexibility and enabling the integration of intermittent power sources such as solar and wind. The project is among several large-scale battery storage initiatives being developed in Saudi Arabia.
The EPC works on the project were carried out by a consortium between State Grid Corporation of China and Riyadh-based developer Alfanar Projects. The facility’s deployment in the harsh desert environment posed substantial challenges, including extreme temperatures and frequent sandstorms.
