Huawei wins contract for 1300 MWh Energy storage project in Saudi Arabia

Huawei Digital Power has signed a key contract with SEPCOIII to supply 1300 MWh battery energy storage solution (BESS) for the 400 MW Red Sea solar photovoltaic project located on the Red Sea coast, in NEOM, a cross-border city in the Tabuk Province, Saudi Arabia.

The two parties will cooperate to help Saudi Arabia build a global clean energy and green economy center. The 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. The battery storage project 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 are increasingly depleted.
