Solar Energy Investments

In addition to having some of the world’s richest oil fields, Saudi Arabia also has some of the world’s most intense sunlight. The country also has vast expanses of open desert seemingly tailor-made for solar-panel arrays.

Saudi Arabia is preparing to make what could be one of the world’s biggest investments in solar power. The Kingdom’s subsidization of fossil fuel will be reduced and partially replaced with the subsidization on solar energy making Solar Power to be the fastest growing power generation technology in the years ahead.

Dar Massader is now working with the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) for developing the solar energy standards and codes for the Saudi Arabian market and will be heavily investing into that sector, from Residential to Commercial and Utility solutions.

Energy & Power Residential

With the cost of solar energy panels steadily decreasing and the cost of fossil fuel energy annually increasing, solar energy has become the imminent solution for today’s average household.

The build up of this sector will require introducing the latest solar technology and services on a retail level opening up the opportunities for many SME operations across the Kingdom.

Dar Massader is already affiliated with the leading European Household Solar Energy provider and are in the planning stages for introducing this service here at home and in the Region.

With a population of aprox. 26.5 million, almost 52% of the Kingdom’s Energy consumption is used by residences.

Energy & Power Commercial

With the continuously increasing demand for electric power, the significantly high price of oil and the growing concern for the environment, many businesses are resorting to alternative sources of energy. Among the renewable energy sources, solar energy is a sustainable choice and one that can be used in various applications. Many businesses are now tapping into this alternative source of energy, hoping to benefit from its numerous advantages.

Energy & Power Utility

Solar power in Saudi Arabia has become more important to the country as oil prices have risen. Today, over 50% of electricity is produced by burning oil.

At present Saudi Arabia has only 0.003 gigawatts of installed solar energy capacity. A total of 24 GW of renewable energy is expected by 2020, and 54 GW by 2032.

Due to rising oil prices and decreasing costs of utility-scale solar installations, solar power in Saudi Arabia has achieved grid parity and can produce electricity at costs comparable to conventional sources.

Together with our international leading global partners, Dar Massader will be undertaking heavy investments in the Sole Energy Utility sector to help meet the Kingdom’s future vision.

Saudi Arabia burns about a quarter of the oil it produces—and its’ domestic consumption has been rising at an alarming 7 percent a year…nearly three times the rate of population growth.

Smart Grid Investments

Smart grid technology will bring together the advancements in the IT and Telecommunications sector – embedded sensing, computing and ubiquitous communications – to deliver a safer, more efficient and more resilient energy system. Not dissimilar to the Internet, this smart grid will act as a backbone infrastructure, enabling a suite of new business models, new energy management services and new energy tariff structures.

The reboot of the electric grid is an exciting investment opportunity that promises to be one of the biggest energy transformation stories of the early 21st century. Dar Massader is committed in heavily investing into this sector.

It is projected that by 2018 global smart grid investments should grow to $25.2 billion per year.

SEC Smart Metering Project

The Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) has recently announced the launch of the Smart Metering Project Wave 1 public tender, which includes the deployment of 2.5 million smart meters, telecommunications infrastructure, testing equipment and head end system.

2.5 million smart meters for Wave 1 of the Project

This project will consist of 5 stages including proof of concept, pilot, deployment, operation & maintenance and warranty. The scope of work includes performing the detailed engineering design, architecture, procurement, manufacture, supply, shipping, storing, transportation, delivery to the work site(s), installation, testing, commissioning, integration, training, operation and maintenance in order to put into service the Smart Metering infrastructure of the company.

Dar Massader will be joining more than one of the formed consortiums for the project.

Energy Storage

Grid-scale energy storage will transform the way we produce, deliver, and consume electricity. With storage, utilities can rely on a cleaner, more efficient energy mix while deferring costly infrastructure upgrades. Storage provides utilities with a triple play value proposition: infrastructure upgrade deferral, energy arbitrage, and locational capacity. In today’s high tech world, commercial and industrial facilities require better power quality and reliability and new means of managing ever increasing electricity costs. Our battery technology provides electricity consumers with a dual economic and reliability value proposition:

Dar Massader is now working with the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) for producing cost effective energy storage solutions that are not only less expensive than other battery technologies, but less expensive than the most economical alternative used today to provide the same services—gas turbines for peak power generation and transmission and distribution assets for delivery capacity.
