Saudi Arabia's government entity tasked with procuring electricity generation projects has commenced the qualification process for a 2GW/8GWh battery storage tender. Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC), licensed as the sole buyer of electrical energy and capacity from sources within the Kingdom, made the announcement on Monday (4 November).
Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC), licensed as the sole buyer of electrical energy and capacity from sources within the Kingdom, made the announcement on Monday (4 November). SPPC is soliciting bids for the development of four battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, each with 500MW output and 2,000MWh storage capacity.
According to energy minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al Saud, speaking in 2021, the government is expected to spend around US$293 billion on power and energy projects by that time. The biggest share will be spent on transmission upgrades and renewable energy, with a smaller investment in the distribution network.
SPPC said on Monday that the newly launched BESS procurement programme will enable Saudi Arabia to reach that 50% goal, with the current tender representing the first tranche of solicitations. The locations for the four BESS facilities, dubbed independent storage projects (ISPs) by SPPC, have been decided.
