They will be connected to the world's largest battery with a capacity of 1,200 megawatts per hour.
Through these projects, Saudi Arabia is trying to establish itself as a hub for tourism and business and as a country that can work with renewable energy sources, away from dependence on oil. With vast amounts of dry and arid regions, Saudi Arabia can rely extensively on solar power, and the Red Sea Project is a testament to what can be achieved through solar power alone.Announced in July 2017, the Red Sea Project is a property megaproject located on the western coast of Saudi Arabia.
The project's first phase includes 16 hotels and retail and entertainment venues and will be powered entirely through solar energy generated using the 750,000 panels installed so far. One of the solar stations is located near the Six Senses Southern Dunes, the Red Sea Resort, and Spa, which will gain the distinction of being the first facility in the project to be fully solar-powered.Since the panels cannot generate power at night, the project also considers installing the world's largest battery-based energy storage solution. The facility is expected to have a storage capacity of 1,200 MWh to deliver grid independence for the mega project, a likely first of its kind.
The Red Sea Project is an essential milestone for Saudi Arabia as it aims for net zero emissions by 2060. When operational, it will also serve as an example for other countries and demonstrate that megaprojects can be entirely driven by renewables and independent of fossil fuel-powered grids. It also marks a transition for Saudi Arabia, which has historically relied on oil for its economy. It is now looking at other avenues and leveraging its geographic location to serve as a business and tourism hub.
