Contact Us“We follow the vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to ensure energy security and sustainability. Energy storage is a vital aspect in ensuring energy sustainability and increasing the reliance on clean and renewable energy sources.
The UAE has installed most of the energy storage systems in the GCC region. In 2016, Abu Dhabi Water & Electricity Authority announced the deployment of around 108 MW of sodium-sulfur-based BESS with an individual capacity of around 4 MW and 8 MW at diferent locations to support their distribution network.
The potential for energy storage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is significant, given the country's abundant resources and growing demand for energy. With a rapidly expanding population and economy, KSA is facing increasing energy demand.
DEWA has the largest thermal energy storage capacity in the world Reliance on clean and renewable energy sources, especially solar power, is increasing. This is driven by their low cost, in light of the global direction to combat the effects of climate change by reducing gas emissions that cause global warming.
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is one of the leading organisations in adopting the latest and best technologies for storing clean energy, and several of its energy storage projects are among the largest regionally and globally.
Australia is adopting battery energy storage systems as a solution to these challenges where it has deployed around 700 MW BESS capacity and has plans to install over 5 GW capacity by 2030. The addition of the energy storage systems would help:
