The projects mark the first phase of Saudi Arabia’s battery storage program, designed to support its goal of 50% renewable energy by 2030. Each 500 MW facility will operate for four hours, providing 2,000 MWh of total power capacity, said the Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC).
World’s largest storage procurement process is underway in Saudi Arabia for 2 GW/ 8 GWh of storage. The Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) has begun qualifying bidders for an enormous undertaking of four grid-scale battery projects totaling 8 GWh of storage capacity across the Kingdom.
In the last years, shuttered power plants like Liddell have become extremely populate sites for battery proposals due to their infrastructure and grid connections. The tender was run by AEMO Services, acting as the NSW Consumer Trustee.
Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) plant will provide Load Shifting as main application while providing Black start, Frequency regulation and voltage support application through a selectable part of the system’s total capacity for the network at their respective Point of Interconnection (POI). Following are the project locations:
Alongside the Orana and Waratah big batteries, Akaysha is also developing the Elaine battery project in Victoria’s southwest. The project is set to have four hours of duration, with the company most recently saying the project would have 1,244 MWh of storage.
The initiative represents the largest coordinated battery storage deployments announced globally to date.
