GCC Microgrid (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Oman & Bahrain)

The major factors driving the growth of the GCC Microgrid market during the forecast period includes the increasing requirement for uninterrupted power supply and the growing deployment of microgrids for rural electrification. The increasing demand for clean energy, and the rising instances of cyberattacks on the energy infrastructures, will drive the demand for microgrids, thereby accelerating the growth of the GCC Microgrid market over the coming years. The growing industrialization and rising population across the GCC countries will increase the demand for energy storage systems, thus propelling the growth of the market in the region.

The governments have launched numerous initiatives such as UAE National Energy Strategy 2050, aiming to deliver clean, secure, affordable energy while treating the environment responsibly, and the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP) under Saudi Arabia Vision 2030 focusing towards maximizing the potential of renewable energy sources in Saudi Arabia. All these initiatives will drive the demand for microgrid in GCC countries, especially in Saudi Arabia, to store and distribute energy effectively. In addition to this, the expansion in the electrification projects across GCC countries, including the Yanbu III Power Plant in Saudi Arabia, the Hassayan power plant in Dubai, and the Al Layyah Power Plant Expansion in Sharjah, which will further complement the demand for microgrids over the coming years. On the other hand, the high installation and maintenance cost will hamper the growing demand for the GCC Microgrid market during the forecast period.

A microgrid refers to small-scale power production and a delivery system consisting of distributed generation facilities co-located with the respective loads they serve. A microgrid can connect and disconnect from the grid, allowing it to work in both grid-connected and island mode. Microgrids encompass various types of energy generation resources, efficiency programs, and storage systems, which enables optimal utilization of renewable energy resources and facilitates advanced energy management, demand response, and solutions for load reductions. A microgrid can effectively integrate numerous sources of distributed generation, especially Renewable Energy Sources (RES) – renewable electricity and deliver a backup for grids in emergency cases. The microgrids are generally located at or near the consumption sites and are controlled through a microgrid controller to match the demand to the available supply in the safest and most optimized manner.

Based on the Type, the grid connected segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing adoption of grid connected microgrid, especially in the renewable energy projects such as the UAE’s Hassayan power plant, the UAE’s Layyah Power Plant Expansion, and the Saudi Arabia’s 300 MW Sakaka solar plant. The grid connected microgrid offers flexibility and enhances the power supply.

Based on Offering, the hardware segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period due to the increasing usage of microgrids in the renewable sources of energy such as PV cells, wind turbines, and hydro turbines for energy generation. Microgrids are widely used in various sectors such as energy & utility and power & gas to increase the resilience of electricity supply, reduce carbon emission, and lower the future energy costs.
