BESS stores energy during off-peak hours, releasing it during peak times to reduce strain on the grid. Impact: BESS enables Riyadh to integrate more renewable energy, supporting urban projects while maintaining grid stability. Urban Energy Demand: Riyadh’s population is projected to reach 8 million by 2030.
In Saudi Arabia, where renewable energy adoption is accelerating, BESS plays a pivotal role in integrating solar and wind power into the grid. With the Kingdom targeting 8 GWh of energy storage by 2025 and 22 GWh by 2030, BESS is a cornerstone of its energy transition. Renewable Integration: Giga-projects like NEOM aim for 100% renewable energy.
The project is among several large-scale battery storage initiatives being developed in Saudi Arabia. In an ongoing procurement, the Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) is tendering four 500 MW / 2,000 MWh BESS projects.
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.
