GCC Smart Grid Market

GCC Smart Grid Market Overview

Smart Grid is a technology that can track the power supply from generation to consumption point. It contains IT systems, communication systems, and automation systems. The renewable integration, system operations, consumer integration, and productive transmission & distribution system are implemented for the accomplishment of smart grids. It provides monitoring and computing of power supply, which assists managers and technicians in taking appropriate actions to control the load in real-time, if any problem occurs which may create a loss.

Major GCC Smart Grid Market Drivers

The major factor surging the growth of the GCC smart grid market is growing environmental concerns regarding carbon emission. The government is preferring the use of renewable energy as the source of power generation to decrease carbon emission and develop better and productive energy infrastructure. These factors contribute to the increasing demand for smart grids. Rapid industrialization and the growing rate of population are certain other factors that are accelerating the energy demand in the GCC region. The smart grid technology helps to control and monitor the power flow, which detects any theft of electricity, hence increases the revenue collection through the usage of power. These factors have shifted the focus of the government to invest in energy infrastructure, thus increasing the growth of the smart grid market.

The FIFA world cup 2022, which is planned to be organized in Qatar and World Expo 2020, which is scheduled in Dubai, has increased the overall infrastructure development in the GCC region. Due to the rising number of events, the government’s interest has inclined towards the deployment of smart grids to enhance the power supply in the GCC region. Other prominent initiative by the government is Saudi Arabia Vision 2030, which aims to increase the power generation capacity to 3.45 GW by the implementation of smart grids, will further energize the market growth.

Based on the countries, the GCC smart grid market is segmented into Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and the rest of GCC. Saudi Arabia is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period. This is due to the technological advancements that are being done by the government to promote the use of the renewable sources for power generation. The government is also investing in the enhancement of grid networks, such as the deployment of 40 GW solar power capacity and 20 GW of wind and other sources. The South Saudi Arabian National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI) updated the smart grid initiative to develop and streamline its grid network infrastructure to meet the increasing energy demand. These steps taken to renovate the old grid networks are playing a significant role in the growth of the smart grid market in Saudi Arabia.

 Key Developments: 

• • In 2020, Hitachi acquired ABB power grids to confront the boundaries against power generation from renewable sources and to control the distributed energy frontiers in the power industry.
  • In 2019, Schneider Electric launched a new product, “EcoStruxure DERMS”. The distribution energy resource management system (DERMS) helps in managing and controlling grid systems.
  • In 2018, Smart Grid Bed Test is a project initiated by General Electric to reduce carbon emission from the grids for clean energy future. It also aims to integrate smart grid technology on a capacity, which is never attempted in the past.
