Huawei Wins 400 MW Solar Plus 1300 MWh BESS Project in Saudi Arabia

Huawei Digital Power has signed a key contract with SEPCOIII for the Red Sea Project with 400 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) plus 1,300 MWh battery energy storage solution (BESS), currently the world’s largest energy storage project.
 
The company has signed the contract during the Global Digital Power Summit 2021 in Dubai, UAE recently.
Under the contract, the two parties will cooperate to help Saudi Arabia build global clean energy and green economy center.
 
The company claimed that this 1300 MWh off-grid energy storage project is the largest of its kind in the world and represents a milestone in the global energy storage industry.
 
The Red Sea Project has been listed in the Saudi Vision 2030 as a key project. Its developer is ACWA Power, and the general contractor of EPC is SEPCOIII.
 
Located on the Red Sea coast, NEOM is also known as the city of the future, powered entirely by renewable energy. It will lead to a new way of life and drive new economic growth, as resources such as oil have been increasingly depleted.
 
With more than 10 years of experience in research and development of energy storage systems as well as more than 8GWh energy storage system applications, the company has been indulged in integrating digital information technology with PV and energy storage technologies to build a more efficient, stable, and safe smart string energy storage system using the string, intelligent, and modular designs.
