Currently, NaS battery technology dominates the battery storage capacity in operation in MENA, particularly in the UAE, with a total of 108 MW/648 MWh projects developed by the Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA).
Pumped hydro storage (PHS) has the largest share of installed capacity in MENA at 55%, as compared to a global share of 90%. Pumped hydro storage is one of the oldest energy storage technologies, which explains its dominance in the global ESS market.
Create an Energy Storage Alliance in MENA supported by governments and the private sector to foster the development of ESS in the region, by enhancing public-private partnerships. A key objective of this alliance is to foster the development of ESS in the region through experience sharing and standardization.
The pace of integration of energy storage systems in MENA is driven by three main factors: 1) the technical need associated with the accelerated deployment of renewables, 2) the technological advancements driving ESS cost competitiveness, and 3) the policy support and power markets evolution that incentivizes investments.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been setting record low tarifs for solar energy projects. In Saudi Arabia, each of the two awarded rounds of the Renewable Energy Project Development Ofice (REPDO) auctions, totaling 2.17 GW, in addition to the PIF-led projects, has received record-low prices.
Electrochemical storage (batteries) will be the leading energy storage solution in MENA in the short to medium terms, led by sodium-sulfur (NaS) and lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries.
