This work presents a pathway for Saudi Arabia to transition from the 2015 power structure to a 100% renewable energy-based system by 2050 and investigates the benefits of integrating the power
ABSTRACT Saudi Arabia is the largest country in the Middle East with huge solar energy resources but has achieved minimal adoption of photovoltaic energy systems
Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) issued the Request for Proposals (RFP) to the Qualified Bidders for Group 1 Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The
Saudi Power Procurement Co. (SPPC) has announced the shortlisted bidders for the the fifth round of the Saudi Arabian government''s renewable energy tender program.
Saudi scientists have determined the current price threshold for power purchase agreements (PPA) that could make large-scale PV and wind power projects viable in Saudi Arabia. They incorporated data from the 300 MW Sakaka solar farm and four potential utility-scale PV project sites.
With its complementary generation profile, wind power will bolster the country’s solar expansion. Average wind speeds across most of the kingdom are between 6.0-8.0 m/s, with higher wind speeds evident in the northeast, the centre, near the mountainous western regions and on the Arabian Gulf and Red Sea coastlines.
This is a herculean task by any standard. At the end of 2020, Saudi Arabia had just 412 MW of renewables, 409 MW of which was solar, to which the Dumar al-Jandal wind farm has now added 400 MW.
The yearly average wind speed is above 4 m/s, measured at 20 m height above the ground . At 100 m, most of Saudi Arabia has wind speed between 6.0 and 8.0 m/s as shown in Fig. 1 . By choosing the right locations for wind farms, higher power output can be achieved since higher wind speeds, reaching
“Sensitivity analysis of PPA rates indicated that solar PV, wind energy, and hybrid solar PV-wind technologies are economically feasible in SA at PPA rates above $32.8/MWh, $26.1/MWh, and $50.6/MWh, respectively,” they concluded.
KSA possesses solar and wind resources throughout the country which have not yet been well utilized . According to the KSA Vision 2030, RE systems (including wind and solar) will play a major part in future power generation. The kingdom has set an initial target of 9.8GW of RE on a short term basis and 41GW of RE by the year 2032 .
