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.
Currently, only a few companies have invested in battery energy storage systems (BESS). However, this is expected to change significantly as the renewables sector in the region continues to grow. The region's installed renewable energy capacity reached 32 GW in 2023 and is expected to approach 40 GW by year-end.
Middle East and African region has several concentrating solar power (CSP) projects which utilizes thermal energy storage. CSP projects are installed and under construction in countries such as United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia and Morocco.
The energy storage systems market in Middle East & Africa is expected to reach a projected revenue of US$ 15,383.1 million by 2030. A compound annual growth rate of 11.5% is expected of Middle East &
