According to local media reports in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Consultative Council, in coordination with the Ministry of Energy, called for the expansion of local capacity in the solar cell and module industry to increase the local content of the renewable energy industry.
At the meeting chaired by Dr. Abdullah Al Shaikh, the Council approved a number of recommendations, including the adoption of a strategy to assess the green hydrogen production plan. They emphasize support for industries that are not achieving local self-sufficiency at competitive energy prices as promising industries.
The Council also voted in favour of Dr. Musleh Al-Harthy's recommendation to study the implementation of a hybrid renewable energy system that combines solar and wind energy to create an integrated system that improves the efficiency of electricity production and adds value to the national economy. Studies have shown that this hybrid system can meet a large part of the energy demand without expensive energy storage batteries.
In addition, the conference sees the integration of wind and solar as advantageous, as wind at night more effectively supplements solar generation that can only operate during the day. This approach optimizes land use, reduces environmental impact, increases productivity, and reduces costs.
Global experience has shown that hybrid systems combining wind and solar are among the most successful, widespread, and efficient forms of renewable energy, thanks to the complementary nature of these energy sources in terms of year-round and all-day production efficiency.
