Security of Distribution Stability and Availability
Electricity represents a fundamental public utility and an essential driver of the domestic economy and society. As a supplier and service provider of electricity, PEA takes it most seriously to increase the ability of its distribution systems to be efficient, secure, stable, and sufficiently available to sustain rising power demand. By so doing, the public will see fully efficient electricity consumption, which promotes ongoing sustainable economic and social development while lowering risks to the public’s quality of life due to interruptions in distribution systems. To this end, PEA is committed to developing distribution systems, smart grids, and smart cities with digital technology to sustain growth in domestic economic areas along with remote areas of the kingdom in line with the 13th National Economic and Social Development Plan (2023-2027) and domestic energy policies and strategies including the Energy 4.0 policy, Power Development Plans (PDPs), and Alternative Energy Development Plans (AEDPs).
