Executive Summary

Thermal Power Dominates Power Mix in Saudi Arabia

Thermal sources currently dominate Saudi Arabia’s

power mix. In 2012, thermal sources accounted for

XX% of the country’s total installed capacity,

followed by oil-based capacity with XX% and gas-

based capacity with XX%. The remaining XX%

was contributed by solar Photovoltaic (PV).

Continuous Increase in Annual Consumption and Generation

Annual electricity consumption increased from XX

Terawatt hours (TWh) in 2000 to XX TWh in 2012

at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of

XX%. This growth in consumption was the result of

the combined effect of economic and population

growth.

Annual electricity generation increased during the

same period from XX TWh in 2000 to XX TWh in

2012 at a CAGR of XX%. The growth of electricity

generation has been almost entirely from thermal

sources, while renewable generation is still in its

nascent stages.

SAUDI ARABIA POWER MARKET OUTLOOK TO 2030 - MARKET TRENDS, REGULATIONS AND

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Introduction

2 Introduction

Saudi Arabia is a major oil economy, and the government plays a prominent role in this sector. The

country, which has one of the largest proven reserves of oil in the world, is also one of the largest

exporters of oil in the world and plays a major role in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting

Countries.

Although the government’s influence is largely felt in all aspects of business and industry in the

county, Saudi Arabia has been encouraging private sector growth in order to diversify its economy

and reduce unemployment. In an effort to increase foreign investment, the country acceded to the

World Trade Organization (WTO) in December 2005. The country plans to spend a total of $XX

billion on social development and infrastructure projects during the period from 2010 to 2014 and

has established six economic cities in order to attract increased foreign investment (CIA, 2013).

With the increase in petroleum revenue in 1974, the country became one of the fastest growing

economies in the world with a high volume of trade with other counties. In 2010, the annual real

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth amounted to XX%, and in 2011 it was even higher at XX%.

Annual growth in 2012 slowed to XX%. The country is dependent upon petroleum export for a large

share of its revenue, and was affected during the recession period due to reduced demand for

fossil fuels. GDP annual growth in 2009 amounted to only XX%.

However, due to the surplus earnings from oil exports in previous years, Saudi Arabia was less

affected by the recession than other countries. In Saudi Arabia, the industrial sector accounted for

an estimated XX% of GDP in 2012, followed by the services sector with XX% and the agriculture

sector with XX% of the GDP. The petroleum sector, in general, accounts for approximately XX% of

the country’s revenue and XX% of GDP (CIA, 2013).

The Ministry of Water and Electricity is responsible for the implementation of policies, plans and

strategies for the electricity industry. The Electricity and Cogeneration Regulatory Authority (ECRA)

was formed in November 2001 by the Council of Ministers through Decision No. XX. The authority

is responsible for the regulation of electricity services and cogeneration, the issuance of licenses

for the generation, transmission, distribution and trade of electricity, and the review of tariffs. The

country is dependent upon thermal capacity to meet its power requirements, due to the abundant

availability of petroleum resources.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Introduction

Saudi Arabia has the highest power consumption per capita in the Middle East, which has been

growing at a fast pace over the past decade. The Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) provides most

of the power generated in the country, and the entire distribution. Transmission is provided by the

National Grid, which is a subsidiary of SEC.

Saudi Arabia is working towards the production of power from renewable sources of energy and is

playing an active role in the development of new technologies to exploit and use these renewable

sources. Saudi Arabia has set a target of XX Gigawatts (GW) from renewable sources by 2030 and

also plans to explore nuclear energy for electricity production. In order to realize its target and

increase the share of alternative energy, the country plans to invest $100 billion in solar power

alone over the next XX years (Connor, 2012). Saudi Arabia is looking to reduce the internal

consumption of fossil fuels and use these resources for export, which will benefit the economy.
