The projects aim to reshape Saudi Arabia's energy landscape and drive exploration in renewable energy, reflecting the Kingdom's ambitious goal of achieving a 50% renewable energy share by 2030. The energy storage systems will integrate into Saudi Arabia's power transmission network, addressing challenges posed by the increasing number of renewable energy generation systems. This integration will ensure stable power supply, meet peak energy demands, and support the nation's transition to a sustainable energy future.
BYD Energy Storage will supply new-generation MC Cube-T energy storage systems, utilizing its globally pioneering CTS (Cell-to-System) super-integrated technology. These systems feature a Vcts (proportion of cell volume to system volume) index exceeding 33%, ensuring efficient energy storage and optimal integration into the grid. The project marks the first time Saudi Arabia has committed to large-scale grid-scale storage, signaling a shift in strategy towards enhancing renewable energy reliability.
This achievement also highlights BYD Energy Storage's extensive expertise and global reach. The company has delivered over 75 GWh of energy storage equipment to projects in more than 110 countries and regions worldwide. By collaborating with SEC, BYD is contributing to the realization of Saudi Arabia's renewable energy vision, while also showcasing its leadership in energy storage technology. This partnership underscores the growing importance of sustainable energy solutions in driving economic and environmental progress.
