Saudi Energy is strengthening the reliability and operational efficiency of the electrical grid across the holy sites during the 1447 AH Hajj season through the deployment of advanced digital technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), predictive analytics, and real-time monitoring systems.
As part of its Hajj season preparedness strategy, the company has implemented advanced AI models capable of predicting electrical grid patterns and operational performance, enabling proactive planning and improving electrical load management across key pilgrimage locations.
The company has also introduced real-time transformer load monitoring systems powered by Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to support preventive maintenance activities and enhance the operational readiness of electrical infrastructure serving pilgrims.
To improve operational coordination, Saudi Energy launched an interactive digital Hajj platform featuring smart dashboards that monitor real-time operational indicators across the electrical grid in Makkah, Madinah, and the holy sites of Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah.
The digital platform is integrated with control systems, smart meters, and outage management systems, enabling unified data management, automated reporting, faster response capabilities, and improved operational preparedness during the Hajj season.
Among the major technological initiatives introduced this year is the Early Fault Detection project, which marks a significant advancement in monitoring power station equipment across the holy sites. The initiative shifts operational strategy from traditional periodic maintenance toward a smart digital system based on real-time monitoring and predictive operational analysis.
In addition, the company launched “Musaed,” a locally developed AI-powered assistant designed to help employees instantly access approved operational manuals, procedures, and technical controls, supporting faster field-level decision-making and operational efficiency.
These initiatives form part of an integrated technological ecosystem that includes advanced analytical solutions and more than 60 predictive models supported by large-scale operational data management. The company said the deployment further enhances electrical grid reliability during the Hajj season while reflecting Saudi Arabia’s growing capabilities in managing large-scale seasonal infrastructure using advanced digital technologies.
