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.
