Saudi Arabia's government entity tasked with procuring electricity generation projects has commenced the qualification process for a 2GW/8GWh battery storage tender. Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC), licensed as the sole buyer of electrical energy and capacity from sources within the Kingdom, made the announcement on Monday (4 November).
The projects mark the first phase of Saudi Arabia's ambitious battery storage program, designed to support its goal of 50% renewable energy by 2030. Each 500 MW facility will operate for four hours, providing 2,000 MWh of total power capacity, said the SPPC, at the following locations:
In addition to public-private partnerships such as through SPPC, Saudi Arabia will host gigawatt-hour scale battery storage facilities to integrate renewable energy at major infrastructure projects such as the Red Sea Project coastal tourist destination. Image: Red Sea Global.
According to Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, the nation has set a goal of deploying 48GWh of battery energy storage systems by 2030. This ambitious target not only supports Saudi Arabia's energy transition but also injects fresh momentum into the global renewable energy and energy storage markets.
