Essa cooperação é um passo fundamental para o avanço do setor de energia renovável da Arábia Saudita e para o alinhamento com as metas ambiciosas estabelecidas na iniciativa Vision 2030 da Arábia Saudita. Em resposta aos prementes desafios climáticos globais, a SEC tem sido firme em seu compromisso de reformular o cenário energético da Arábia Saudita e liderar a exploração de energia renovável, impulsionada pela ambição do Reino de alcançar seu mix de energia ideal de 50% de renováveis até 2030.

Os equipamentos BESS dos projetos serão instalados em cinco locais no país. A BYD Energy Storage fornecerá ESS MC Cube–T de nova geração que adota sua tecnologia super integrada CTS (Cell–to–System) pioneira em todo o mundo, com um índice Vcts (proporção do volume da célula para o volume do sistema) superior a 33%. Essas instalações se integrarão à rede de transmissão de energia da Arábia Saudita, desempenhando um papel fundamental no enfrentamento dos desafios impostos pelo crescente número de sistemas de geração de energia renovável, garantindo o fornecimento de energia estável e atendendo às demandas de pico de energia.

Há 17 anos o primeiro sistema piloto BESS foi entregue pela BYD ao mercado para buscar o valor potencial do sistema de armazenamento de bateria baseado em LFP para ser acoplado ao sistema de rede elétrica. Até o momento, a BYD Energy Storage entregou mais de 75 GWh de equipamentos BESS para 350 projetos que abrangem mais de 110 países e regiões em todo o mundo. Seu portfólio diversificado de produtos atende a vários cenários de aplicação no lado da geração, no lado da utilidade e no lado do consumo, formando uma cadeia industrial completa que abrange pesquisa, desenvolvimento, fabricação, vendas e serviços. A BYD Energy Storage provou estar bem equipada para fornecer um projeto de ultra grande escala superior a 15,1 GWh.

Este projeto histórico redefinirá o valor e o status das soluções de armazenamento de energia eletroquímica no cenário global de energia. Tomando essa cooperação como um novo ponto de partida, a BYD Energy Storage continuará a aumentar o investimento em pesquisa e desenvolvimento de tecnologia e se unirá a parceiros globais para estabelecer uma nova era de transição energética, levando o setor de armazenamento de energia a um futuro limpo e sustentável.

Feb 18 2025 – Fatima Mohammadi was a manager in a government office in Afghanistan’s Parwan province before the Taliban came to power. But having been forced out of her job she is back home unemployed.

I decided to pay her a visit at her home after several attempts to reach her on phone proved unsuccessful. Later I understood that she was ashamed for her situation and had thus tried to avoid meeting me.

Upon arrival at her home, I was guided into a neatly arranged guest room where we sat next to a window. Her daughter and daughter-in-law also came along to welcome me.

The Taliban’s implementation of restrictive Islamist laws over the past three years has had a devastating impact on the physical and mental welfare of women and girls in Afghanistan
Fatima appeared shortly after carrying a thermos of tea, chocolates and home-baked pies. With a smile, she said, “You remind me of the good days we had”. “Will those days be repeated in our lives again?”, she wondered while taking a seat next to me.

Fatima Mohammadi was referring to the days when she was a manager in a government office in Parwan province. Her department worked to encourage women to take their place in society and contribute to the upkeep of their families. She earned a good salary, lived a comfortable life and was able to support her entire family. But the return of the Taliban upended all that. She is now an unemployed housewife, faced with severe challenges in life.

After seizing back power in August 2021, the Taliban placed severe restrictions on women’s lives with draconian Islamist laws. Women and girls have been banned from having an education, and crucially, they are no longer allowed to take up salaried employment and mainly confined to the house.

Fatima, 43, lives in the centre of Parwan province with a family of six. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Dari language and literature from Parwan University.

She lives in a four-room house with her husband, daughter, son, son-in-law, and grandson.

As the conversation began to pick up, I detected that Fatima was a little ill at ease. She tried to pull herself together but the distress on her face revealed her pain.

“Our economy is deeply in the red”, Fatima opens up. “We cannot afford to buy a bag of flour, and our debts have piled up so, no one is willing to lend us money anymore”, she laments.

She says her family can barely make ends meet from the little income that her son – a former student in the university – earns as a street seller.

The Taliban’s implementation of restrictive Islamist laws over the past three years has had a devastating impact on the physical and mental welfare of women and girls in Afghanistan. They are marginalized in society and, have low expectation of the future.

Fatima’s dire situation is aggravated by the fact that her husband is also out of work, having lost his job as logistics manager in a previous government. It is a reflection of the economic devastation wrought by Taliban rule in Afghanistan, which has created hardship for everyone at large.

“My husband is currently unemployed and stays at home”, Fatima complains. Adding, “His behaviour towards the family has taken a turn for the worse of late; it is not easy to talk to him”. He believes he is a burden on his family, and it feels unbearable.

Fatima recalled her previous life: “When I was a government employee, I worked outside home. Our economy was good and I had a stable mind. There were other programs, which were also sources of good income and my family needs were adequately met.”

“But, now”, she says, “I have lost everything since the return of the Taliban and my mental health is also worsening by the day”.

After spending a few hours talking with her, I returned home with a heavy heart.
