Abstract
Economic boom in 1970s has yielded expansion in most sectors in Saudi Arabia. The electric energy system had had to respond to these changes. The pressure on the network and the need for extra generating plants reflects the difficulty of the situation in the kingdom. However, governmental regulations have limited changes in the pricing of the service leading to more pressure due to increasing demand. Full privatization of the sector during last year resulted in restructuring of the electric energy sector. The consequent changes of the tariff system, accordingly, reflected the complexity of economic decision regarding electricity pricing. However, it highlighted the importance of energy conservation. This paper lays out the existing conditions of the electrical energy system.. Identifying major causes and opportunities for energy conservation and energy saving programs. On the other hand, it analysis the main obstacles that delay saving programs implementation.
