1300MWh! Huawei signs the world’s largest energy storage project

Huawei Digital Energy and Shandong Power Construction Company III successfully signed the Saudi Red Sea New City energy storage project. The energy storage scale of the project is 1300MWh. It is the world’s largest energy storage project so far and the world’s largest off-grid energy storage project.

According to sources from Huawei, on October 16, the 2021 Global Digital Energy Summit was held in Dubai. At the meeting, Huawei Digital Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Huawei Digital Energy”) and Shandong Electric Power Construction Third Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as ” Shandong Power Construction Third Company”) successfully signed the Saudi Red Sea New City energy storage project. The two parties will work together to help Saudi Arabia build a global clean energy and green economy center.

It is reported that the energy storage scale of the project reaches 1300MWh, which is by far the world’s largest energy storage project and the world’s largest off-grid energy storage project. It has strategic significance and a benchmarking demonstration effect for the development of the global energy storage industry.

The Red Sea New City Energy Storage Project is a key project included in Saudi Arabia’s “Vision 2030″ plan. The developer is ACWA Power and the EPC contractor is Shandong Power Construction No. 3 Company. Red Sea New City, located on the coast of the Red Sea, is also known as the “new generation city”. In the future, the entire city’s electricity will come entirely from new energy sources.

Huawei said that as of now, 137 countries around the world have committed to the goal of “carbon neutrality”, which will be an unprecedented large-scale global cooperation action, and will also give birth to a wide range of investment opportunities in the fields of renewable energy and green infrastructure. .

CCTV Finance previously reported that according to incomplete statistics, in the first half of 2021, the scale of new domestic new energy storage installed capacity exceeded 10GW, a year-on-year increase of over 600%. And the number of projects with larger installed scale reached 34, 8.5 times that of last year, covering 12 provinces across the country. According to the guidance of the National Energy Administration, it is estimated that the installed capacity of new energy storage capacity will reach more than 30 million kilowatts in 2025, which is close to 10 times the current installed capacity of new energy storage capacity.

Huawei predicts that by 2030, the proportion of renewable energy will exceed 50%, and clean energy will become the main energy source. In this era of change, new energy represented by photovoltaics will become the main energy source, building a new type of energy with new energy as the mainstay. The power system is the key to carbon neutrality. “Photovoltaic + energy storage” is the inevitable trend of future development.

Huawei Digital Energy has more than 10 years of experience in energy storage system research and development and more than 8GWh energy storage system application. It is committed to cross-border integration of digital information technology with photovoltaic and energy storage technology, based on stringing, intelligent, and modular The design concept is to create a “more efficient, more stable and safer” intelligent string energy storage system, helping photovoltaics become the main energy source and building a green and beautiful future.
