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.
Qiddiya, an entertainment and tourism hub, and the Red Sea Project, a luxury eco-tourism destination, are other flagship giga-projects relying on BESS. Qiddiya: This project requires high energy for theme parks, stadiums, and residential areas. BESS ensures stable power for high-consumption facilities, integrating with solar installations.
Riyadh, the Kingdom’s capital, is undergoing rapid urbanization, with projects like the Riyadh Metro and King Abdullah Financial District driving energy demand. In January 2025, Saudi Arabia connected its largest BESS, a 2 GWh system, to the grid, significantly enhancing Riyadh’s energy infrastructure.
Red Sea Project: Located off the grid, this project uses BESS to store solar and wind energy, powering resorts and infrastructure sustainably. Impact: Both projects benefit from BESS’s ability to provide clean, reliable energy, enhancing their appeal as global destinations.
