Masdar, EWEC world-biggest solar-battery project
A project combining solar generation and battery storage to provide 1GW of ''round-the-clock'' dispatchable power was unveiled at Abu
The region does boast some of the world's most ambitious solar PV projects, such as the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai, which has a planned 5GW generation capacity by 2030 from both solar PV and concentrated solar power (CSP).
Pairing 5.2GWdc of solar PV generation with 19GWh of battery storage capacity will enable the plant to deliver up to a gigawatt of 'baseload' power 24/7, every day, Al Jaber claimed. “For decades, the biggest barrier facing renewable energy has been intermittency.
Saudi Arabia is running its first 8GWh public procurement for BESS resources, while Chinese BESS-specialised battery maker Hithium recently announced plans to build a 5GWh production plant in Saudi Arabia in partnership with Saudi engineering solutions company MANAT as the pair also launched a BESS solution designed for use in desert conditions.
