Saudi Arabia Smart Grid Market Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2028

Saudi Arabia Smart Grid market is anticipated to grow at a robust CAGR in the forecast period.

A smart grid is an energy network based on digital technology that is used to deliver electricity to consumers through two-way digital communication. The system enables monitoring, analysis, management, and communication within the supply chain to improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption and costs, and maximize transparency and reliability of the energy supply chain. The smart grid was introduced to use smart grid meters to overcome the weaknesses of the traditional electricity grid. The two-way flow of electricity and data, which is an intrinsic feature of the smart grid, enables the distribution of information and data to various actors in the electricity market, enabling them to optimize the grid. Through it, forecast potential can be analyzed to respond faster and build new capabilities (and services), as the energy landscape changes.

Government Projects Driving the Growth for Saudi Arabia Smart Grid Market

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) or Smart Metering, an integrated system of intelligent meters, communication networks, and data management systems, is the cornerstone of smart grids and is expected to grow significantly. In 2019, Saudi Electricity Co. won USD 2.5 billion project to install 10 million smart meters across Saudi Arabia as part of a broader electricity distribution improvement plan. Saudi Arabia witnessed a significant increase in electricity generation in 2018 and is expected to increase during the forecast period. From 333 TWh in 2014 to 383 TWh in 2018, the demand for smart grids and smart meters is also increasing, driven by new power plants and new grids. Saudi Arabia is investing in pre-metering infrastructure as efforts intensify to modernize the power grid and reduce transmission and distribution losses. This is anticipated to drive the AMI market during the forecast period. Smart grids can collect much more data than manual energy meter reading systems. This allows the use of data analysis techniques and creation of highly realistic consumption forecasts. This allows energy suppliers to better match production with consumption (balance) and reduce energy surpluses.

Another important benefit of the remote administration system is more accurate invoices. It reduces the cost of older systems with manual power metering, as it always reflects actual monthly consumption rather than estimates. In addition to remote access to information about installations, problems are easier to diagnose, solutions can be implemented faster, thereby improving customer service. Today, customers need to notify businesses and take required actions. However, with remote management, the system itself automatically reports incidents to the utility company, allowing users to respond more quickly.
