Huawei today announced that it has signed a deal with Shandong-based SEPCO III Electric Power Construction to build a 1,300 MWh energy storage project in Saudi Arabia.
Is Huawei partnering with sepcoiii for a 1300 MWh off-grid battery energy storage system?
Huawei has recently signed the contract with SEPCOIII at Global Digital Power Summit 2021 in Dubai for a 1300 MWh off-grid battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Saudi Arabia, currently the world's largest of its kind.
This project also represents the largest energy storage project since Huawei officially launched the Smart String Energy Storage Solution for utility-scale PV power plants in June 2021. Sitting on the Saudi Arabian Red Sea coast, the Red Sea project is one of the key projects as part of the Saudi Vision 2030.
Among them, the ACWA Power will be responsible for the developer's part while Shandong Power will provide the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) supplies. In July 2021, Huawei filed an energy storage system patent that was publicly shared on July 9th in China.

Huawei has more than 10 years of experience developing and researching energy storage systems, and this has been applied throughout a global installed base of more than 8 GWh.
In July 2021, Huawei filed an energy storage system patent that was publicly shared on July 9th in China. This patent targets to normalize the hardware architecture and provides convenient maintenance with reduces costs. We can see the company has a long time preparation for the energy storage which is now gradually starting to implement in actual.
