Natural Gas and the Vision 2030

Historically, the pace of growth in Saudi gas demand has kept up with gas output. Looking ahead, gas demand is not likely to slow as total electricity consumption is pushed up by industrial development, in line with the Vision 2030, and rising population levels. Accordingly, Jadwa Investment forecasts that Saudi Arabia will need to grow gas output by an annual average rate of either 3.7 percent, in the base case scenario, or 6.6 percent, in the high case scenario, in the decade to 2030.
