Each project will have a capacity of 2.6 GWh, totaling 7.8 GWh. The three storage projects are located in Najran, Madaya, and Khamis Mushait, Saudi Arabia. According to the development plan, deliveries will commence this year, with grid connection expected by 2025.
MENA region has 30 planned energy storage projects in 2021 – 2025, with batteries expected to make up 45% of MENA’s total energy storage landscape by 2025 APICORP recommends ten key policy actions to support energy storage solutions integration, including the creation of a MENA Energy Storage Alliance to facilitate public-private partnerships
With adbundant land and low-cost solar and wind generation capacities, MENA countries have real competitive advantages that enable it to take the lead in energy storage and successfully navigate the energy transition.”
There are 30 ESS projects planned in MENA between 2021 and 2025 with a total capacity/energy of 653 MW/3,382 MWh – out of which 24 projects are for VRE integration and grid firming. The share of batteries out of the total energy storage landscape in MENA is expected to jump from the current 7% to 45% by 2025.
Dr. Ahmed Ali Attiga, CEO of APICORP, said, “The need for energy storage solutions in the MENA region is primarily driven by ambitious national renewable energy targets and mounting peak electricity demand as a result of accelerating economic development and diversification of the energy mix.
Some of the current technologies being used for energy storage in MENA include pumped hydro storage (PHS) and electrochemical energy storage – mainly sodium-sulfur and lithium-ion batteries.
