Saudi Arabia Energy profile (PDF)
This PDF document is the Energy Profile for Saudi Arabia, published by IRENA (the energy company in the UAE ) .
Saudi Arabia has one of the world's most fossil-fuel-dependent energy systems. Oil and gas supplied around 99% of Saudi Arabia's total energy in 2022, with renewables under 1%....
And this makes Saudi Arabia a major net energy exporter, with energy self-sufficiency of 275%. Renewables still generated only about 1% of electricity in 2023.
But Saudi makes progress in renewables also. Such as 1755 MW of new solar capacity was added in 2024 alone.
Saudi Arabia has world-class solar potential, moderate wind potential, and very limited biomass potential.
Renewable energy supply grew more than tenfold between 2017 and 2022, though from a very low base.
Renewable electricity capacity reached around 5% of the total power mix in 2024, up from effectively zero in 2017.
For 2030 its goal is to generate 50% of electricity from renewables . And to have renewable capacity equal to 130 GW, with 58.7 GW from solar and 40 GW from wind.
