Technical FAQs 4

Is large-scale energy storage a viable option in the Middle East?

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.

Is energy storage gaining traction in the Middle East?

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.

Is Dewa building a pumped hydro storage facility in the UAE?

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.

Will the UAE deploy 300mw/300mw of Bess capacity by 2026?

It follows EWEC’s recommendation made this time last year that the UAE should deploy 300MW/300MWh of BESS capacity by 2026. It didn’t reveal when it hoped the 400MW (MWh capacity undisclosed) would come online, so it’s not clear whether this is part of a longer-term target or whether its forecasted needs have increased.
