[PDF Version]The 2 GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) features 122 prefabricated storage units, designed and supplied by China's BYD. From ESS News Saudi Arabia has officially connected its largest battery energy storage system (BESS) to the grid, marking a significant milestone in the country's renewable energy expansion.
This project is one of several large-scale battery storage initiatives underway in Saudi Arabia.
The facility is currently the largest operational single-phase energy storage project in the world. The Bisha battery energy storage system consists of 122 pre-assembled units, each equipped with a 6 MW power conversion system and four lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery modules, with each module capable of storing 5.365 MWh of energy.
Energy storage is a vital component of this transition, providing grid flexibility and enabling the integration of intermittent power sources such as solar and wind. The project is among several large-scale battery storage initiatives being developed in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia has connected a 500 MW/2000 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Bisha, located in the southwestern province of 'Asir. The facility is currently the largest operational single-phase energy storage project in the world.
This facility stands as one of the largest energy storage projects in the Middle East and Africa. The Bisha BESS, owned by Saudi Electric Company, comprises 122 prefabricated storage units designed and supplied by China's BYD.
Featuring a 400MW solar PV system coupled with a 1. 3GWh energy storage system, this ambitious project is set to revolutionize sustainable energy solutions in hospitality. Global technology giant Huawei is at the helm of this groundbreaking venture.

In December 2023, Saudi officials announced how the Kingdom intended to achieve net zero by 2060. They highlighted more than 80 initiatives, funded by a $188 billion investment, for a greener future.
With a goal of sourcing 50 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, the Kingdom is investing heavily in solar energy, capitalizing on its abundant sunlight. This commitment is part of the broader National Renewable Energy Program strategy, aimed at diversifying its energy portfolio and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
In order to encourage the growth of renewable energy, Saudi Arabia offers a variety of incentives to attract both domestic and international investors to participate in photovoltaic projects. These include tax incentives, assistance with land use, and long-term power purchase agreements.
Under the National Renewable Energy Program, which is overseen by the Ministry of Energy, Saudi Arabia aims to develop a total storage capacity of 48 gigawatt-hours by 2030. To date, projects totaling 26 gigawatt-hours have been tendered and are currently in various phases of development.
The Kingdom enters the top ten global rankings for battery energy storage with ambitious future capacity goals. Saudi Arabia is establishing itself as a significant player in the energy storage sector, now ranked among the top ten global markets for battery energy storage.
