BYD Energy Storage and Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) have signed a contract to deliver the world’s largest grid-scale energy storage project totalling 12.5GWh. This milestone supports Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which targets 50% renewable energy in the national mix by the end of the decade.
BYD Energy Storage and SEC have signed a landmark contract for what is now the world’s largest grid-scale energy storage project, with an initial capacity of 12.5GWh. Combined with a previously delivered 2.6GWh project, the total collaboration has reached a record-breaking 15.1GWh.
The BESS equipment in the projects will be installed at five sites in the country. BYD Energy Storage will supply new-generation MC Cube-T ESS that adopt its globally pioneering CTS (Cell-to-System) super-integrated technology, with a Vcts (proportion of cell volume to system volume) index exceeding 33%.
The new energy storage systems will be installed across five locations in the Kingdom and fully integrated into the national power transmission network. The battery energy storage systems (BESS) provided by BYD will use its new-generation MC Cube-T ESS and its pioneering Cell-to-System (CTS) integration technology.
In response to the pressing global climate challenges, SEC has been steadfast in its commitment to reshaping Saudi Arabia's energy landscape and spearheading exploration in renewable energy, driven by the Kingdom’s ambition to achieve its optimal energy mix of 50% of renewables by 2030.
Taking this cooperation as a new starting point, BYD Energy Storage is set to promote the widespread application and deep integration of energy storage technology and join hands with global partners to usher in a new era of energy transition, leading the energy storage industry towards a clean and sustainable future.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
