Report Summary: ''The Middle East and Africa (MEA) Energy Storage Outlook'' analyses key market drivers, barriers, and policies shaping energy storage adoption across grid-scale and distributed segments. The report includes scenario analyses for Saudi Arabia, UAE, Israel, and South Africa and a broader overview of trends across the rest of the MEA region.
The objectives of this paper are to quantify and evaluate holistically the impact of VRE generation supply in Saudi Arabia''s future electric gird and the potential opportunities of seasonal and long duration energy storage.
This paper aims to highlight and compare the trends in renewable energy investments and incorporate a risk analysis matrix to address the economic, environmental, and social aspects of Saudi Arabia''s environment.
This regional analysis emphasizes the need for tailored CCUS strategies across Saudi Arabia. While the Eastern and Western regions present significant low- to medium-cost opportunities, the Central, Southern, and Northern regions face higher costs due to lower emission volumes and storage constraints.
The Middle East and Africa (MEA) Energy Storage Outlook analyses key market drivers, barriers, and policies shaping energy storage adoption across grid-scale and distributed segments. The report includes scenario analyses for Saudi Arabia, UAE, Israel, and South Africa and a broader overview of trends across the rest of the MEA region. We highlight the rise of
Indicators of renewable resource potential t of capacity (kWh/kWp/yr). The bar chart shows the proportion of a country''s land area in each of these classes and the global distribution of land area across t asured at a height of 100m. The bar chart shows the distribution of the country''s land area in each of these classes compared to the global dis
The model results show that storage in the low production case is primarily built in the eastern, central, and western areas of Saudi Arabia. There is about 1,900 trillion Btu (1,832 Bcf) of gas storage nationally by 2022, at the cost of $11.5 billion; the same capacities are built with and without LNG imports.
Saudi Arabia''s gas reserves reached around 6 trillion cubic meters (tcm) in 2018, making it the world''s sixth-largest holder of gas reserves. In 2018, Saudi Arabia produced 12.3* million barrels per day (MMb/d) of oil per day, representing 13% of total global oil production, and exported an estimated 8.5 MMb/d of crude oil and refined products.
Saudi Arabia seeks to increase its electricity generation capacity from natural gas and renewable energy sources as part of the country''s Vision 2030.3 The Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) awarded bids for four natural gas-fired power plant projects in October 2023 and began receiving bids for four additional projects in January 2024.
KAPSARC has developed an energy flow chart for Saudi Arabia. The graphic provides a comprehensive view of the Kingdom''s energy profile, breaking down energy supply by source, sector, and electric power.
