Saudi Arabia HVDC Transmission Market Trends:

Investment in smart grid integration 

Substantial investments in smart grid technologies by Saudi Arabian government bodies to modernize its power infrastructure is leading to higher demand for HVDC systems. For instance, in December 2023, ENOWA, a subsidiary of NEOM, introduced a high-voltage smart grid blueprint aimed at NEOM, cutting corridor footprints and undergrounding costs by more than 50%. These systems play a vital role in enhancing power management, enabling seamless integration of renewable energy sources into the grid while improving energy efficiency and ensuring stable power transmission over long distances. The reduction in transmission losses and optimization of energy flow due to HVDC systems is critical for addressing the country's expanding electricity needs. This trend is driving significant growth in the HVDC market. Moreover, private sectors are increasing their investments in grid modernization projects which is providing an impetus to the market. 

Shift toward decarbonization in power transmission 

Saudi Arabia's increasing efforts to decarbonize its energy sector are creating substantial opportunities for the market. The ability of HVDC system to integrate renewable energy sources is crucial for achieving its carbon reduction goals. HVDC is increasingly being deployed to transmit clean energy efficiently over long distances due to the several solar and wind power projects. This rising demand for sustainable and energy-efficient transmission solutions is supporting the market growth. Moreover, the rising number of international investors attracted to the country's focus on green energy projects, driving funding and partnerships for sustainable infrastructure development is contributing to the market expansion. For instance, in December 2024, TotalEnergies and Aljomaih Energy entered a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement with Saudi Power Procurement Company for the 300 MW Rabigh 2 solar project, supporting Saudi Arabia's renewable energy goals and Vision 2030 initiatives.

Expansion of cross-border power exchange 

The implementation of favorable initiatives to enhance cross-border energy exchange by the Saudi Arabian government is significantly contributing to the growth of the overall HVDC market. For instance, in August 2024, Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) obtained a USD 2 billion five-year syndicated loan, led by Bank of China, to support the expansion and modernization of its power network across the Middle East. The country is using HVDC technology to strengthen its interconnection with neighboring countries. These systems play a vital role in balancing regional power supply, as the country is aiming to export surplus renewable energy to nearby markets. This focus on energy trade is increasing investments in HVDC infrastructure and the large-scale interconnection projects, which in turn is driving market growth. In addition to this, increasing investments and funding from both the public and private sectors are stimulating the HVDC market and ensuring steady market growth in the coming years.
