BYD Energy Storage successfully signed the world's largest grid-side energy storage project with a capacity of 12.5GWh, ushering in the era of "big" energy storage
24 February 2025
BYD Energy Storage and Saudi Electricity Company have recently signed a contract for the world's largest grid-side energy storage project, with a capacity of up to 12.5GWh. Together with the 2.6GWh project that has been delivered previously, the total capacity of the cooperation between the two parties has now reached 15.1GWh.
The signing of this agreement marks a solid and crucial step forward in the cooperation between the two parties in the field of renewable energy, injecting strong momentum into the development of Saudi Arabia's renewable energy industry and helping Saudi Arabia achieve its "Vision 2030" goals. This also means that BYD Energy Storage has set a new milestone in global ultra-large-scale energy storage projects. With its leading technological advantages, excellent delivery capabilities, a complete after-sales support system and all-round comprehensive strength, BYD Energy Storage has successfully won high praise and deep recognition in the global market and reached the pinnacle of the industry.
This cooperation with BYD Energy Storage demonstrates Saudi Electricity Company's determination to introduce advanced energy storage technology, improve Saudi Arabia's energy utilization efficiency, promote leapfrog development in the field of renewable energy, and achieve the goal of renewable energy accounting for 50% of the energy structure by 2030.
The 12.5GWh energy storage system signed this time will be installed in five project sites. BYD Energy Storage provides Saudi Electricity with a new generation of "MC Cube-T Magic Cube Energy Storage System", which uses BYD Energy Storage's world-first CTS (cell direct to system) super integration technology, with a Vcts (cell volume as a percentage of system volume) index exceeding 33%. The 12.5GWh energy storage system will be fully connected to Saudi Arabia's power transmission network system to ensure the stability of power supply. At the same time, it will promote the development of Saudi Arabia's energy infrastructure in a flexible, efficient and economical way, help energy transformation, and add momentum to Saudi Arabia's energy security.
