Following the rumors last month, BYD announced that a supply agreement was signed with SAudi Electricity Company (SEC) for the 12.5 GWh battery battery energy storage system (BESS) to be established in Saudi Arabia. This is described as the world’s largest network -scale energy storage project. BYD also underlines that the total cooperation has reached a capacity of 15.1 GWh when combined with the previously delivered 2.6 GWh project.

To be commissioned in five different fields

Projects including BYD’s MC Cube-T energy storage system and CELL-TO-SYSTEM (CTS) technology will be implemented at five different points throughout Saudi Arabia. Thanks to CTS technology, it was stated that 33 percent of the volume ratio exceeds 33 percent (the ratio of cell volume to the system volume), while these projects will be integrated into the country’s electrical transmission network and emphasized that it will play a critical role in renewable energy management and demand balancing issues.

The Vision 2030, the energy transformation plan of Saudi Arabia, aims to provide 50 percent of national energy mix from renewable sources. BYD’s large -scale energy storage projects will increase the network stability by supporting the integration of solar and wind energy.

On the other hand, BYD has been developing network -scale energy storage solutions for 17 years and has provided a total of 75 GWh BESS equipment in more than 350 projects in more than 110 countries. Following the second phase tender of 7.8 GWh won in July 2024, the company re -obtained this latest contract as the largest energy storage supplier of the Middle East.
