BYD Energy Storage recently inked what is hailed as the world’s largest energy storage deals with the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC). The record-breaking contract is a giant step towards green energy solutions for Saudi Arabia for its Vision 2030 plan to break free from dependency on one energy source.
The Size of the Deal
The contracts represent a combined total of 12.5 GWh of fresh energy storage capacity. Added to an earlier agreement for 2.6 GWh. This giant project not only demonstrates BYD’s leadership in the energy storage industry but also represents a landmark in the development of global energy storage technology.
BYD’s Track Record and Expertise
