Saudi Arabia is the fastest growing electricity consumer in the Middle East, particularly of transportation fuels. In 2005, Saudi Arabia was the world's 15th largest consumer of primary energy, of which over 60 percent was petroleum-based. The remainder was made up of natural gas. Two ministries share. . in involves and production, consumption, and exports, and production. Saudi Arabia is the world's leading oil producer and exporter. Saudi Arabia's economy is petroleum. . Saudi Arabia has the world's fourth largest reserves of natural gas, of 6.8 trillion cubic metres (240 trillion cubic feet). One-third of this reserve is found in the Ghawar. Before the master gas system, the oil company flared (burned) the gas as it came from the oil well. Until recently. . • • • • • .

The kingdom aims to increase its electricity generation capacity from 83 gigawatts (GW) in 2023 to 110 GW by 2028, supported by a $293 billion investment in both conventional power and renewable energy projects. At the heart of this strategy is Saudi Arabia's goal to generate 50% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
Saudi Arabia has established a goal to source at least 50 percent of its power from renewable energy by 2030, expanding its capacity to 130 gigawatts (GW), 58.7 GW of which is expected to come from solar and 40 GW from wind. This target is the most ambitious of its kind among Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries (Figure 1).
Saudi Arabia is transitioning towards independent power and water projects to address the escalating power requirements and broaden the array of energy sources via the National Renewable Energy Program. This will be accompanied by a substantial rise in non-oil government income and the private sector's contribution to GDP. 1.
Saudi Arabia is enhancing its electrical power sector infrastructure to accommodate the rising demand from both the residential and commercial sectors, simultaneously advancing its strategy for energy diversification away from traditional oil and gas reliance.
Electricity generation is 40% from Oil 52% from Natural Gas and 8% from steam. Generation capacity is approximately 55 GW. A looming energy shortage requires Saudi Arabia to increase its capacity. Capacity is planned to be increased to 120 GW by 2032.
Saudi Arabia is prioritising upstream gas investment, but for use in the domestic power generation market, not for export. The country has had plans to diversify its energy sources for some time, developing solar and nuclear power. Mtoe (million tonnes of oil equivalent) = 11.63 TWh (terawatt-hours).
