Saudi Arabia is now ranked among the world’s top ten energy storage markets, its growth driven by the launch of the 2,000 MWh Bisha Project, one of the largest in the Middle East and Africa. The country aims to achieve 48 GWh of storage capacity by 2030, with 26 GWh already tendered under its National Renewable Energy Program.
