Development of Energy Storage Regulatory Frameworks
The Saudi government is actively formulating regulatory frameworks and incentives to attract investment and innovation in grid energy storage technologies. Establishing clear policies for energy storage integration, ownership models, and grid access is fostering confidence among stakeholders and unlocking new business models. For instance, in February 20245, Saudi Arabia reinforced its global battery storage position by commissioning the 500 MW/2,000 MWh Bisha BESS project, using 122 units from BYD. With 15.1 GWh of total capacity through ongoing collaborations, the nation aims to reach 8 GWh by 2025 and 22 GWh by 2026. Moreover, new guidelines for storage participation in electricity markets are being developed to ensure fair compensation for grid services such as frequency regulation and peak shaving. These advancements are poised to bolster investor interest and technological deployment, further propelling Saudi Arabia grid energy storage market growth.
Rise of Utility-Scale Battery Storage Projects
The Saudi Arabia grid energy storage market is witnessing a surge in utility-scale battery storage projects, driven by the nation’s ambition to install large-scale renewable capacity and improve grid flexibility. For instance, in April 2025, Saudi Arabia launched a major 2.5GW/10GWh grid-scale battery energy storage project across five regions, supporting its Vision 2030 renewable energy goals. With a total investment of over 6.73 billion SAR, this is among the world’s largest storage projects. It will enhance grid flexibility, reduce costs, and stabilize renewable integration. Saudi Arabia targets 48GWh of energy storage by 2030 and is attracting global industry leaders. Besides this, these installations are being integrated with smart grid platforms for real-time performance monitoring and predictive maintenance. The Kingdom’s transmission and distribution operators are increasingly adopting storage for peak load management, grid congestion relief, and enhanced energy resilience in remote areas. As storage technology costs decline and performance improves, this trend will significantly contribute to Saudi Arabia grid energy storage market growth.
