Saudi Arabia EV Charging Infrastructure Market Growth, Trends, Report 2022-2028

BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, expects Saudi Arabia EV Charging Infrastructure Market size to reach USD 472.6 million by 2028. During the forecast period between 2022 and 2028, BlueWeave projects Saudi Arabia EV Charging Infrastructure Market size to grow at a significant CAGR of 12.4%. The expansion of Saudi Arabia EV charging infrastructure market is driven by rising EV adoption and favorable government policies. Other factors driving the growth of the Saudi Arabia EV charging infrastructure market include an increase in market key players’ investments in the construction of EV charging infrastructure, as well as technology advancements in EV charging infrastructure. To minimize its reliance on the oil and gas industry, the Saudi Arabia government is investing in other revenue streams and supporting the expansion of other vital industrial verticals. Furthermore, the government is taking steps to increase consumer adoption of EV and to promote a more sustainable environment. For example, the National Industrial Development Center (NIDC) hopes to attract three to four original equipment manufacturers to expedite the country's manufacturing of EVs. However, the inconsistency of charging standards and primitive power grid infrastructure are anticipated to limit the growth of Saudi Arabia EV charging infrastructure market.

Saudi Arabia EV Charging Infrastructure Market – Overview

Electric vehicle charging stations, also known as EV charging stations, ECS (electronic charging stations), and EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment), provide electrical power for the energy recovery of plug-in EVs, such as electric cars, neighborhood electric vehicles, and plug-in hybrids. The growing popularity of EVs has accentuated the significance of charging infrastructure development. Major EV markets, such as China, the United States, and Germany, are investing heavily in R&D to develop easier and more efficient EV charging techniques.

Essar plans to construct a Saudi facility by the end of 2025.

India's Essar Group, which is carrying out the largest foreign direct investment in Saudi Arabian steel industry history, chose the country due to its investment-friendly environment, says Essar corporate planning general manager Amar Kapadia.

The new integrated flat steelworks is scheduled to break ground by year-end and be completed by end-2025.

"Management has asserted that critical to the progress has been the enlightened and collaborative approach of the Saudi government ministries: the Royal Commission of Jubail and Yanbu, Invest Saudi, the National Industrial Development Centre and related entities who have provided a highly supportive and informed technocratic basis for both facilitating and supporting the planned investment,” Kapadia told Kallanish in an exclusive interview during the Saudi International Iron & Steel Conference in Riyadh last week.

Authorities’ welcoming approach to foreign investment and pragmatic policymaking has helped Essar fast-track project development, he added.

"We have formally applied to the Saudi Industrial Development Fund (SIDF), and they are evaluating our project. Through multiple rounds of discussion, additional information required for SIDF to complete technical, market and credit evaluation has been shared. We hope to conclude the process in the next few months,” Kapadia commented.

“We plan to award an LSTK contract with project drivers of schedule, cost, quality and safety with the balance of the need to meet local content requirements even during the project execution phase. Therefore, all procurement would be the contractor's responsibility to achieve these objectives,” he continued.

Essar signed a memorandum of understanding with Saudi Arabia’s National Industrial Development Centre (NIDC) in October 2021 and an agreement with the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu (RCJY) for land allocation in December.

The company will invest SAR 15 billion ($4 billion) into 4 million tonnes/year of continuous casting and hot strip capacity, 1m t/y of cold rolled coil capacity, and a tin plate line in Ras Al Khair Industrial City on Saudi Arabia’s east coast. The new facility will also have two direct reduced iron plants, each with a 2.5m t/y capacity. 

Essar will cater to domestic and regional demand, supplying a wide range from ultra-thin to thick gauges for various downstream industries such as automotive, oil & gas, water pipe, packaging, electrical, and home appliances (see Kallanish passim).

The Essar Group has international investments across four areas covering the energy, metals and mining, infrastructure and EPC verticals. The privately held group has an annual turnover of over $13 billion.

The new investment in Saudi Arabia represents Essar’s second foray into steelmaking since it was forced to relinquish its circa 10m t/y capacity Indian flat steelmaking operation to ArcelorMittal in 2019.

Coconut Industry and Danding Cojuangco

Many people asked: How did Eduardo "Danding" Cojuangco, Jr. turned out to be so fabulously rich? A lot of people thought of him as a business wizard. I just smile. Danding was one of the original supporters of Senate President Ferdinand E. Marcos when he ran for president of the country in 1965 for the first time under the Nacionalista Party. Danding belonged to the wealthy landed Cojuangco family of Tarlac province. His father, I was told, was an old Nacionalista Party politician in that province. Danding actively campaigned for FEM in 1965. I first met Danding in 1966. I was then already in the government. President Marcos and his First Lady invited me and my family to be with them at the Mansion House in Baguio City. Danding and his wife, Gretchen, were also there. One morning, before breakfast, Danding asked me what I thought was a good business to have. I told him to put up a cement plant. This was from my experience as a lawyer of Lone Star Cement Corporation of New York. Not long after that, Danding built a cement factory in Sison town in Pangasinan. After that first personal contact we had in Baguio City, I never saw Danding again. Then, around August or September 1974, Danding saw me at my office in Camp Aguinaldo. He asked for my help. He said President Marcos wanted to replace the old and almost barren coconut trees of the country with a new variety of coconut trees. The new variety was called MAWA. It was developed, according to Danding, in the Ivory Coast in Africa. It was a cross between a Malaysian dwarf coconut tree and an African tall coconut tree. Danding said his family owned a big island in the town of Balabac in Palawan province. President Marcos wanted that island to be a seed garden for the new variety of coconut tree that could produce nearly five (5) tons of copra per hectare per year. Danding also said that he had been pushing the project for more than three (3) years already, but nothing so far had been achieved. It turned out President Marcos assigned the project to Executive Secretary Alejandro Melchor. But Secretary Melchor was too busy to attend to it. Danding pleaded for my help. I told Danding that I would help him, but I needed the permission of the President. Right then and there Danding called President Marcos. The President talked to me and instructed me to help Danding.

At that time, I was concurrently the Chairman of the Philippine National Bank (PNB) and its subsidiary, the National Investment and Development Corporation (NIDC). I created a NIDC Task Force to study the project. The head of the Task Force was Arturo "Toots" Trinidad. He was the President of NIDC. After a month or so, the Task Force submitted a report. I sent the report to the President. The President issued PD No. 582 that amended PD No. 232 - the law that created the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA). It broadened the powers of the PCA. When President Marcos issued PD No. 582, he defined the coconut replanting program. He also expressed his impatience. He said that unlike other copra producing countries, the Philippines had remained backward. It had not adopted a concrete and concerted effort to modernize the coconut industry of the country. It was time, he said, for us to use for our cocnut industry fast-growing, fast-fruiting, and high-yielding coconut trees that could produce nearly five (5) tons of copra per hectare per year to replace the old coconut trees of the country whose average annual yield was hardly a ton of copra per hectare per year. He stressed that the Philippines with its old and inefficient coconut trees could not compete with other nations in foreign markets for vegetable fats and oils. Apart from that, the government could not provide adequate and stable incomes for its coconut farmers. It was urgent, he said, to replace all existing coconut trees in the country with precocious coconut seed nuts so that our coconut farmers would have a better and more decent life. That was the imperative of the coconut seed garden in Bugsuk island as envisioned by President Marcos: Produce fast-growing, early-fruiting, and high-yielding coconut seed nuts and replace the old, slow-growing, slow-fruiting, and low-yielding coconut trees of the country to improve the lives of coconut farmers of the land. The precocious seed nuts from Bugsuk seed garden were to be distributed without cost to the coconut farmers. The cost of producing the seed nuts and the cost of cutting and replacing the old coconut trees, including the cost of planting suitable idle public lands with precocious seed nuts were to come from a new Coconut Industry Development Fund (CIDF) that was established in PD No. 582. The Philippine Coconut Authority was authorized to allocate twenty centavos (P0.20) per kilogram of copra resecada or its equivalent out of the amounts collected for the Coconut Consumer Stabilization Fund under PD No. 276 in order to raise the money for the Coconut Industry Development Fund (CIDF). Thus, a major and essential national project that languished idly for years in the dark shelves of the bureaucracy was resuscitated and given life in less than two months. A thousand hectares coconut seed garden was carved out from the more than six thousand hectares Bugsuk island of the Danding Cojuangco family. While the seed garden project was being implemented, President Marcos, without telling me, appointed me as concurrent acting Chairman of PCA in 1975. Thus, he added another work to my already heavy burden and responsibility. He directed me to oversee the coconut industry, the coconut replanting program, and the planting of new areas with the precocious seed nuts. It was at this time that I got closer to Danding Cojuangco. It was also at this time that I got acquainted with the coconut industry and the coconut farmers of the country. President Marcos sincerely wanted to help the coconut farmers and the coconut industry. His coconut seed garden program was a sound policy. It was adopted to modernize the coconut industry and to improve the lot of the coconut farmers of the country. But, unfortunately, the project was technically a failure. The seed nuts from the Ivory Coast grew very well in Bugsuk island. They produced tremendous number of seed nuts. But, the fruits did not grow well in the country. They could not stand the strong winds we have in the country. They became stunted, and they hardly bore fruits. The seed garden project was abandoned. The seed garden was a failure for the country. But, it was a success for Danding Cojuangco. His link with the coconut industry made him very rich, very influential, and also very powerful. It brought him a universal bank - the United Coconut Planters Bank. He built a life insurance company (COCOLIFE) for the coconut farmers. He controlled the coconut oil mills in the country. He ended up controlling also San Miguel Corporation. And because of all these, he was able to consolidate and to build a strong and potent political power base that nearly made him president of the country in the national election of 1992. All along Danding considered himself - and was reputed to be - the political kingpin of Tarlac. His only rival and mortal political adversary in that province was his cousin-in-law, Benigno "Ninoy" S. Aquino, Jr - husband of his first cousin Cory Cojuangco Aquino -. Another outcome was Danding established and maintained a strong friendship and personal bond with powerful military leaders, like General Fabian Ver and his men in the Armed Forces, General Tomas "Tom" Diaz, General Romeo "Romy" Gatan, General Alfredo "Fred" Montoya, General Alfonso E. Alcoseba, and several key junior officers, especially in the Philippine Constabulary. Some truly admired him, but many feared him as well.

Author’s note: Under the Hood is a semi-regular feature that details website and social media updates as they relate to my work and the writing at ninaillingworth.com. I post it here on Can’t You Read pretty much entirely to reduce clutter on NIDC.

Under the Hood: Better Late Than Never Edition

As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, the month of June has turned out to be a giant clusterf*ck in multiple aspects of my life; I’m obviously not dead, but the sensation of trying to push a bolder up a hill is growing by the day. I will however spare you the minutia of my tribulations in this space and simply note that I’m back working on content creation again; a fact which will hopefully become obvious when new articles start appearing on NIDC.

In the meantime I’d like to cover some important updates that relate to my work, my social media presence, and the newest author joining our growing collective on ninaillingworth.com. 

Let’s get right to it:

A Country Called Capitalism

For better, or often enough for worse, my writing has pretty much always focused on American news and politics. In part this is because my readers tend to be Americans, but its also because I myself have a lifetime’s worth of cultural experiences and historical knowledge about the U.S.A. They say you should write what you know, and unlike many of my countrymen, I’m acutely aware that I usually don’t know enough to credibly comment on the news from other countries.

This isn’t of course to say that I only care about American news, or that I’m unprepared to do the legwork necessary to comment on say, internal Labour Party politics in the U.K., or Canada’s sale of militarized vehicles to the Saudi regime on the downlow. For the most part however, I try very hard to stay in my lane as it were.

Recently however, I’ve undertaken a project to bring additional writers and more content under the ninaillingworth.com umbrella, and through the magic of the internet, I’ve found several people who live on other Pig Empire countries that have relevant things to share about other places. In particular, I’ve falling in with some dreadfully ungovernable Canadian writers whose experiences so closely match those of my American readers, I honestly can’t think of a single good reason not to publish their work.

So as of today, please be advised that ninaillingworth.com is going semi-internationalist. I’m going to publish some stories about places like Canada, the United Kingdom, and perhaps even some non-Pig Empire nations, whenever I can find a credible “man on the ground” with something important to share. For readers who’re only interested in American-centric content, never fear; I remain as ignorant and laser focused on Yankee nonsense as I’ve always been, and lord willing I’ll be publishing new essays of my own soon enough.

A Spider Comes From the Fog

In that same vein, I’d like to announce that NIDC is collaborating with a new anarchist writer who specializes in personal decolonization, anti-colonialism, and on the ground coverage of direct action protests in Canada. Knowledgeable, humorous, and every so slightly sarcastic, I’m pretty sure this author is going to be a big hit with our regular audience - despite the fact that they spell funny, and probably own a toque.

Given the nature of both the work involved here and the fascist police state we all seem to be living under in the Pig Empire, I’ve agreed to allow them to publish under a nom-de-plume; specifically Anarcharachnid. I have complete confidence that the experiences this author chronicles are true, and that Anarcharachnid is operating in good faith; the decision to withhold their government name is purely a tactical choice, designed to protect the safety and freedom of the writer in question. 

For those of you now interested in reading Anarcharachnid’s work, I’m planning on publishing their first essay on NIDC later today. Watch that space for updates.

Covering the Gap and @ASNinaWrites

As you may or may not be aware, I maintain a publicity account on Twitter; @ASNinaWrites. This account, which is always run by someone who is not me, mostly exists to post links to my new articles, share older articles that are relevant in light of recent events, and help spread ideas about mutual aid and socialism. 

Unfortunately due to circumstances that are only partially my fault, I’ve recently been forced to change account managers for @ASNinaWrites. There are no hard feelings or drama involved, mostly the issue is that I’m hard to work for, and the person previously running the account became too busy to manage the account due to other professional endeavors, over time. As you can imagine however, this isn’t an easy position in the NIDC organization to fill, and it’s likely going to take me a few more weeks to find a permanent replacement for the previous account manager.

In the meantime I’ve asked an old friend and mentor to take over the posting duties for @ASNinaWrites and I must say that so far, I think they’re doing a smashing job. Combining daily quotes, memes, communist dad jokes and relentless politeness, even I’m kind of enjoying the updates from @ASNinaWrites at the moment. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for this assistance in my hour(s) of need.

Please keep in mind that I’m currently not paying this person, who would likely refuse my money anyway because they’re one of the kindest people I’ve ever met; I would greatly appreciate it if readers took it easy on my volunteer. I’ll let you know when I find a more permanent replacement.

And with that, I’d better get back to work...
