Saudi Arabia renewable energy market size is estimated to register a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing electricity demand which is trimming the country’s oil export and export earnings, and to reduce the consumption of oil in the power generation.
The electricity generation from renewable sources in the past was negligible but is estimated to play a crucial role to meet the rising demand and diversification of electricity generation. The government is planning to increase electricity generation from renewable sources to 3.45 GW by 2020 and 9.5 GW by 2023.
The power demand in the region is also growing at a considerable rate. In order to reduce the consumption of oil and meet the growing power demands simultaneously, increase the share of renewable, the power industry in Saudi Arabia is projected to attract significant reforms and in turn large investments. Hence, to reduce the over-dependence on hydrocarbons for power production, the focus is for renewable, supported by nuclear energy, to meet the future demand for power, which is further estimated to proclaim the renewable energy market in Saudi Arabia.
The Covid-19 pandemic had an unpleasant impact on Saudi Arabia renewable energy market due to halt in production renewable power plants; however, the government’s steps and strategies have helped to neutralised the situation. This pandemic has encouraged the key players to implement advance technologies to overcome these challenges and expand the market growth.

Based on type, the Saudi Arabia renewable energy market is segregated into solar, wind, and others. It is further divided into hydro, biomass etc. The solar segment is expected to account for a key share of the market during the forecast period owing to increased investment and upcoming projects for solar PV in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia government aims to reduce the heavy reliance of oil in power generation and produce one-third of the nation’s electricity from solar energy, thereby amounting for the highest share in 2019 amongst other renewable energy types. Moreover, a new renewable target of installing and developing 58.7 GW of clean power sources over the next decade.
The 2030 target will involve the development of 40 GW of photovoltaic (PV) solar capacity and 2.7 GW of concentrated solar power (CSP) capacity. Additionally, Saudi Arabia started the third round of its renewable energy programme, which is to add a total of 1.2 gigawatt of solar photovoltaic power capacity to the grid, and open bidding for six solar energy projects with a combined capacity of 1.2 GW.
Key players competing in the Saudi Arabia renewable energy market include ACWA Power, Alfanar Group, Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar), Electricite de France S.A and Engia SA.
Some of these players are using several market strategies such as mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, capacity expansion, and product launches to enhance their market shares.
