Saudi energy policy may be categorized in three key areas: Energy prices, energy efficiency, and fuel switching. Energy prices have been regulated by the Saudi government for decades. Energy price regulation has been used to support industrialization and households in the country.
In APS, the main policy drivers are energy price reforms that cause fuel switching in industry and utilities, and renewable power generation mandates. Aside from examining updated energy-system results for Saudi Arabia as compared to the literature, one novel contribution of this study is highlighted by CES.
Social implication of Saudi Arabia’s green energy policies Workforce development is also a critical area for the green energy transition for job creation and increased GDP. Alyahya and Irfan noted that Saudi universities are crucial in producing a technically proficient workforce.
Energy prices have been regulated by the Saudi government for decades. Energy price regulation has been used to support industrialization and households in the country. Low feedstock prices, for example, helped the Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) establish itself as a major player in the global petrochemicals industry.
The government is committed to supporting the development of the energy savings sector, leveraging entities like the Saudi Energy Efficiency Center (SEEC) and TARSHID, a company with approximately $500 million capital dedicated to supporting energy projects in the public sector. 4.
