From October 15th to 16th, the Solar & Storage Live KSA & Future Energy Live KSA 2024 took place in Riyadh, the largest city in Saudi Arabia. Gerchamp made a strong impression with its
BESS stores energy during off-peak hours, releasing it during peak times to reduce strain on the grid. Impact: BESS enables Riyadh to integrate more renewable energy, supporting urban projects while maintaining grid stability. Urban Energy Demand: Riyadh's population is projected to reach 8 million by 2030.
Riyadh, the Kingdom's capital, is undergoing rapid urbanization, with projects like the Riyadh Metro and King Abdullah Financial District driving energy demand. In January 2025, Saudi Arabia connected its largest BESS, a 2 GWh system, to the grid, significantly enhancing Riyadh's energy infrastructure.
Saudi Arabia's BESS deployments primarily use lithium-ion batteries, which account for 80% of the Kingdom's 300 MWh installed capacity in 2023. These systems are designed to: Store Energy: Capture excess renewable energy during peak production. Discharge on Demand: Release stored energy during high demand or low renewable generation.
