The rapid growth rate of energy storage in the MENA region, led by the GCC, is surprising many analysts. Saudi Arabia, in particular, is set to be the third biggest global BESS market after the USA and China in 2026.
Factoring in these costs from the beginning ensures there are no unexpected expenses when the battery reaches the end of its useful life. To better understand BESS costs, it’s useful to look at the cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) stored. As of recent data, the average cost of a BESS is approximately $400-$600 per kWh. Here’s a simple breakdown:
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.
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.
Speaking in 2021, the Saudi government expects to spend $293 billion on power and energy projects by then. The biggest share of this revenue is expected to be spent on transmission upgrades and renewable energy. The implementation of the world’s largest battery energy system (BESS) project progresses as Saudi Arabia begins qualification tenders.
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.
Most of the projects are expected to be procured by government-owned public entities, such as SPPC, SEC, EWEC and ENOWA (NEOM). The Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) awarded a 7.8 GWh BESS contract to Al Gihaz (using a Sungrow BESS) in Q2 2024 with commissioning expected in 2025.
