Discover the factors affecting the Costs of 1 MW Battery storage systems, crucial for planning sustainable energy projects, and learn about the market trends!
The cost of BESS has fallen significantly over the past decade, with more precipitous drops in recent years: This is nearly a 70% reduction in three years, owing to falling battery pack prices (now as low as $60-70/kWh in China), increased deployment, and improved efficiency.
The Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) has released a list of 33 prequalified bidders for its 8GWh BESS project. The projects mark the first phase of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious battery storage program. It is designed to support its 50% renewable energy goal by 2030.
The world’s largest BESS project in Saudi Arabia is one that has received accolades from the state government. Under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 policy roadmap, the country aims to have a 50% share of renewable energy in its grid.
At a recent event in the country, Chinese battery manufacturer and storage system integrator Hithium launched a BESS solution designed to be suitable for deployment in extreme desert conditions and said it plans to build a production plant in Saudi Arabia with 5GWh annual production capacity.
And if we add recent tenders, this will lead to a whopping 33.5 GWh of BESS capacity by 2026. This would make Saudi the third biggest global BESS market after the USA and China. While KSA is certainly leading the pack, increasing deployments can be witnessed all across MENA and the Gulf or GCC region in particular.
How containerised BESS costs change over time. Grid connection costs. Balance of Plant (BOP) costs. Operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. And the time taken for projects to progress from construction to commercial operations. Other variables add costs to projects.
