Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are taking advantage of falling prices to load up on Chinese-made battery energy storage systems, so they can boost their renewable energy ambitions. Battery storage systems are seen as crucial to integrating solar and wind energy into electrical grids.
Both will require battery energy storage to support their renewables targets, experts say. Rystad Energy expects Saudi Arabia's battery energy storage capacity to surpass 11 gigawatt hours (GWh) by the end of the year, from zero at the start of 2024.
The 12.5GWh energy storage systems will be fully integrated into Saudi Arabia's power transmission network system, playing a crucial role in addressing the challenges accumulated by the increasing number of renewable energy power generation systems, ensuring stable power supply, and meeting peak energy demand.
