At the heart of these projects lies a critical technology: Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). This case study explores how BESS is powering Saudi Arabia’s giga-projects, ensuring energy reliability, sustainability, and scalability.
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.
According to Saudi Arabia's plans, the installed capacity of energy storage will show a rapid growth trend. In the short term, Saudi Arabia plans to have 8GWh of energy storage projects in operation by 2025, and this figure will increase to 22GWh by 2026.
In January 2025, Saudi Arabia connected its largest BESS, a 2 GWh system, to the grid, significantly enhancing Riyadh’s energy infrastructure. Grid-Scale Deployment: The Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) awarded contracts for 2,500 MW/10,000 MWh of BESS capacity, with a significant portion allocated to Riyadh.
