Saudi Arabia Smart Grid Market

Saudi Arabia Smart Grid Market Overview

Smart Grid is an electrical system that can measure the flow of power from the point of generation to the point of consumption. It includes communication, automation, and IT systems. Smart grids can be attained by the installation of system operations, consumer integration, renewable integration, and productive transmission & distribution system. It helps managers and technicians to measure and monitor power flows in real-time and take suitable actions to steer or retrench the load, in case of any losses.

Major Saudi Arabia Smart Grid Market Drivers

The key factors propelling the growth of the Saudi Arabia smart grid market is rapid modernization and rising environmental concerns. The government is inclining towards renewable energy sources to reduce carbon emission and provide more efficient energy infrastructure, which is driving the growth of the smart grid market in the country. Due to rapid industrialization, there is an increase in the need to enhance the existing grid network to meet the growing demand. The smart grid provides the technology to monitor and track power usage, which can contribute to the improvement of revenue collection from electricity as it becomes easy to address electricity theft. With these solutions to enhance power stations and overall energy infrastructure, the growth of the smart grid market is also increasing. The Saudi Arabia vision 2030 focuses on implementation of smart grids, with the contribution of US$ 100 billion by NEOM to increase the power generation capacity to 3.45 GW.

There are various initiatives that are being taken by the government to deploy renewable resources and initiate substantial investments for the improvement of grid networks. By 2030, Saudi Arabia has planned to develop 40 GW solar power capacity and 20 GW of wind power plant and other projects. South Saudi Arabian smart grid initiative was launched by the South Saudi Arabian National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI) for building and modernizing its grid network infrastructure to meet the growing energy demand. These initiatives to enhance aging grid networks play a significant role in growing demand of the Saudi Arabia smart grid market.
