World-largest: China’s BYD signs 12.5 GWh battery storage deal with Saudi Arabia
The project aims to make a stride towards advancing Saudi Arabia’s renewable energy industry.
China-based BYD Energy Storage has signed a contract with Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) for the world’s largest grid-scale energy storage project.
The contract signed between the two firms is for a capacity of 12.5 GWh energy storage project. The project – combined with the earlier delivered 2.6 GWh project – now amounts to a massive 15.1 GWh.
The project aims to make a stride towards advancing Saudi Arabia’s renewable energy industry.
It will also help in meeting the ambitious goals set in Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative. SEC aims to help the country achieve its optimal energy mix of 50 percent of renewables by 2030.
