This report analyzes the Middle East BESS market, moving beyond surface-level news to provide a strategic assessment for potential investors, developers, and partners.
Before proceeding with the identification, design, and implementation of a BESS PPP it is important to be as clear as possible on why the BESS project is being proposed, what it needs

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.
BESS projects often rely on more complex “stacked” revenue streams than traditional energy generation projects. In developed markets this often results in BESS projects relying on a range of different revenues, with each revenue stream having different characteristics (e.g., some revenues might be capacity-based; others energy-based).
The latter is least likely to be adopted in World Bank client countries and would only be appropriate for bulk energy shifting projects. For the duration of the Term, the Seller shall make available to the Buyer the BESS and the Buyer shall control dispatch of the BESS.
There are many examples where BESS projects have been developed, or are being developed, in response to market signals that are technology neutral. In South Africa, the recent Risk Mitigation IPP (RMIPP) tender resulted in two hybrid solar PV and battery projects being awarded preferred bidder status.
