LEVERAGING ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS IN MENA
Within the spectrum of energy storage technologies, the ranges of applications and captured revenue streams difer depending on the selected site, power system requirements,
Energy Storage System deployment in MENA Energy Storage Systems (ESS) play a critical role in the integration of VRE into the power grid, as these systems manage the intermittencies of renewable energy resources and mitigate potential power supply disruptions.
Pumped hydro storage (PHS) has the largest share of installed capacity in MENA at 55%, as compared to a global share of 90%. Pumped hydro storage is one of the oldest energy storage technologies, which explains its dominance in the global ESS market.
Middle East Energy 2025 is set to redefine the narrative surrounding energy storage as a fundamental enabler of sustainability, energy access, and regional decarbonization. Over the next three days, Dubai will serve as a global hub for rethinking how energy is stored, delivered, and optimized for a net-zero future.
Market forecasts suggest that the Middle East and Africa battery market is projected to grow to $9.98 billion by 2029, driven by policy support, increasing electrification, and a rise in renewable energy investments.
Electrochemical storage (batteries) will be the leading energy storage solution in MENA in the short to medium terms, led by sodium-sulfur (NaS) and lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries.
Saeed Mohammed Al-Tayer, vice chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, will inaugurate the show and lead the high-level plenary of the Middle East Energy Leadership Summit. “We've built this edition of Middle East Energy to reflect the dynamism, ambition, and transformative potential of the region's energy ecosystem,” stated Mark Ring.
