Transforming Water Scarcity into Abundance: ATESS Energy Storage and Solar-Powered Desalination in Saudi Arabia – KSA
Saudi Arabia faces a severe water scarcity crisis. The countryâs annual water consumption reaches 30 billion cubic meters, while it produces only about 2 billion cubic meters of surface water each year. As a result, seawater desalination has become essential for supplying water, especially in urban and industrial areas. Yet, this solution is energy-intensive and largely powered by fossil fuels, which adds both economic and environmental costs. To address these challenges, ATESS has introduced an innovative solar-powered energy storage solution designed to make desalination more sustainable and accessible.
