Until recently, large-scale energy storage was barely a consideration in the Middle East, where fossil fuels have long dominated power generation. With renewable energy projects expanding across the region, energy storage has started gaining traction.
With renewable energy projects expanding across the region, energy storage has started gaining traction. Unlike Europe, North America, and Asia, where renewable energy and storage technologies are well-established, the Middle East remains in the early stages of development.
In the UAE, DEWA is building a 250 MW pumped hydro storage project in Hatta, set to be the first in the GCC by 2024. France-based energy company EDF has announced plans to explore the development of a 5 GW pumped hydro storage facility in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. The proposed facility is designed to store energy for up to 12 hours.
The proposed facility is designed to store energy for up to 12 hours. The MENA region is also home to a number of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants that offer cost-effective, utility-scale thermal storage. Dubai's Noor Energy 1, a 950 MW hybrid CSP and PV plant, is the world's largest single-site hybrid solar project.
