Saudi Arabia, in cooperation with Huawei, pioneered the construction of the world’s largest solar microgrid

By implementing an ambitious project, Saudi Arabia has taken a step towards the construction of the world’s largest solar energy storage microgrid. This project, which is being implemented by Huawei, includes a solar photovoltaic system with a capacity of 400 megawatts and an energy storage system with a capacity of 1.3 gigawatt hours.

According to Tekna Technology News Service, the Red Sea project, led by Red Sea Global, is designed with the aim of creating a luxury and sustainable tourism destination on the southwestern coast of Saudi Arabia. This project, which is spread over a vast area of ​​28,000 square kilometers, is supposed to be recognized as a global model for sustainable tourism.

With the completion of this project in 2030, Red Sea city with 50 hotels, 8,000 rooms and more than 1,000 residential properties will be ready to welcome one million tourists a year. The noteworthy point is that all these facilities will be supplied with clean energy produced in the project’s independent microgrid.

Huawei plays a central role in the implementation of this project by providing innovative solutions in the field of renewable energy. Huawei’s Fusion string smart energy storage solution enables the project to sustainably store and manage energy generated from solar and wind sources. Highlighting the importance of this project, Alex Xing, Head of Huawei Digital Energy for the Middle East and Central Asia, said: “This project will be the first completely clean energy destination in the world, and we are proud to bring Saudi Arabia to Saudi Arabia with our technological innovations. We help build a greener future.”

In addition to the Red Sea project, Huawei is active in several projects around the world in the field of renewable energy. This company has become one of the main players in the global renewable energy market by implementing large-scale, commercial and industrial projects. Due to increasing concerns about climate change, global attention has been directed towards the use of clean and renewable energy. The Red Sea Project and similar initiatives represent global efforts to build a more sustainable and greener future.
