Saudi arabia s energy storage government policy

Saudi Arabia's policy on energy storage is primarily driven by its Vision 2030 initiative, which aims to generate 50% of its electricity from renewable sources. The country plans to deploy 48GWh of battery energy storage systems by 2030 to support this goal1. Recently, Saudi Arabia has commissioned the Bisha Battery Energy Storage System, one of the largest in the Middle East, which reinforces its strategy to enhance renewable energy infrastructure3. This positions Saudi Arabia among the top 10 global markets for energy storage, reflecting its commitment to expanding its renewable energy capabilities5. As part of the Saudi Vision 2030 policy, the country aims to generate 50% of its electricity from renewable sources. 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. The Bisha BESS is part of Saudi Arabia's broader strategy to bolster its renewable energy infrastructure, aligning with Vision 2030, the kingdom's long-term economic blueprint aiming to source 50% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030. Saudi Arabia has solidified its position among the world’s top ten battery energy storage markets, marked by the commissioning of the 500 MW/2,000 MWh Bisha Battery Energy Storage System in the southwestern province of ‘Asir. This facility stands as one of the largest energy storage projects in the. Saudi Arabia has secured a spot among the top 10 global markets for energy storage, reinforcing its leadership in renewable energy expansion. The milestone comes alongside the launch of the Bisha Project, a 2,000 MWh battery energy storage system—one of the largest in the Middle East and Africa. Saudi Arabia has officially connected its largest battery energy storage system (BESS) to the grid, marking a significant milestone in the country’s renewable energy expansion.
