The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has officially completed grid connection of its landmark battery energy storage project, with a nameplate capacity of 7. The project spans three sites located in the Kingdom's southwestern regions - Najran, Khamis Mushait, and Madaya.
The project consists of a 1,150 megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) facility, an up to 4,600 megawatt-hour battery energy storage system (BESS), a 34. 5-500 kilovolt (kV) grid step-up substation, a 15-mile 500 kV generation intertie (gen-tie) line, and a 500 kV utility.
The facility is expected to generate nearly 500 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, saving 159,000 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 411,000 tons each year.
