Once fully energized, it will become the world's largest operational battery energy storage system (BESS), marking a major milestone in the advancement of renewable energy in the Middle East. The project spans three sites located in the southwestern regions of KSA, Najran, Khamis. . This case study explores how BESS is powering Saudi Arabia's giga-projects, ensuring energy reliability, sustainability, and scalability. In. . Updated August 29, 2025: Saudi Arabia has made major advances in its BESS projects as it launches one of Middle East's largest BESS deployments, a 4GWh BESS project. 2 GW of upcoming capacity and a long-term target of 48 GWh by 2030. The Kingdom has already tendered more than 26 GWh of storage projects, with over 6 GW under construction. . An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system ensures that critical power loads are maintained without any distortion, variability or interruption for electrical equipment where an unexpected power disruption could cause injuries, fatalities, serious business disruption, data loss or some other. . Saudi Arabia has proudly achieved a monumental milestone by energizing the Bisha battery energy storage system (BESS), a groundbreaking project completed in just 11 months.
