What changed on the platform, and when.

The modelled output of every tracked project: free with membership

The list of every tracked Saudi, GCC and captive solar project with its modelled output names the Energy Atlas’s project layers row by row, so it now answers members only, like the atlas’s other layers. Each project’s own estimate stays open on its page and through the API.

Ask for the coverage you need

Every sector and place on /sectors and /regions that has nothing published yet now carries “I need this”. One press tells us a reader wants it covered, and the requests decide what is covered next. A signed-in member’s request is kept with their account.

New members are credited to the channel that brought them

When someone joins, the site now records how they reached it: the campaign tags or referring site (LinkedIn, Google and so on) of their most recent visit in the 30 days before joining, read from the site’s own visit records. No new cookie is set.

Explore everything, save a view, follow a feed

A new explorer searches projects, companies, datasets and tools, reports, insights, briefs and the change ledger at once, with one set of filters and the results grouped by type; the projects are free with membership, and visitors see their count. Members can save any filtered view of the project index, the explorer, the reports, the insights, the atlas or a hub as a permanent short link, list, rename and delete their views in the account, and point their change alert at a view so it sends only the changes that match. Reports, insights, the weekly brief and the change ledger have RSS and JSON feeds that take the same filters, and every sector and region hub links its own.

Energy Atlas: free with membership

The Energy Atlas now opens free with membership, like the site’s other interactive maps and dashboards. Visitors see its headline figures, a still preview with every tracked project drawn, and the source of every layer; members get the full atlas, and a shared link opens on the same view after sign-in. The embed now frames that still preview, with a link to the atlas.

Energy Atlas: filters, colour by published tariff, region presets and battery storage

The atlas now filters projects by technology, stage and Saudi procurement round, each chip with its live count and GW, and each round with its published tariff range. Markers can be coloured by stage, technology or published tariff, with the lowest published tariff named on the map. Six region presets fly to the Kingdom, Riyadh, Makkah and Jeddah, the Eastern Province, the north and the south. Every tracked project is now drawn, those with no stated operation date dashed. The 24 Saudi battery storage projects that the Saudi storage reports name with a figure are added as their own layer, each with its report page. Every state, down to the open project card, is in the link.

The oil price and production strategy model

Brent for the next 24 months and to 2050, anchored to the EIA outlook and the futures strip with the model adding only what a production path changes, and what five Saudi and OPEC+ production paths imply for price, exports, oil revenue, the fiscal balance against the IMF breakeven, market share, spare capacity and the value of reserves. Every parameter is shown and can be moved; documented shocks and six published demand scenarios; the inventory–price calibration with its fit statistics; and a backtest from five past vantages with its errors as they came out. Members build custom paths, run Monte Carlo, search the efficient frontier and export CSV. Five new sources: the EIA outlook and spot prices, FRED, the World Bank Pink Sheet and IMF world growth. Scenario analysis; it recommends no path.

Energy headlines from publishers’ own feeds, and a news page

Headlines about Saudi and GCC energy are now read every three hours from fourteen publishers’ own RSS and Atom feeds, in English and Arabic, with the GDELT Project asked once a run as a second source. Only headlines about GCC energy are kept, deduplicated by link and by near-identical title, and a tracked project or company is tagged only when the headline names it unambiguously, now in Arabic too. The new news page groups the latest headlines by topic, with filters for topic, country and language, and each headline links to its publisher. Only the headline, link, domain, date and language are kept, never the summary or the article.

Trade, emissions and research dashboards, modelled solar generation, and ten more charts

Where the GCC’s clean-energy equipment comes from, on an animated flow map and year by year, from CEPII’s BACI under the Etalab Open Licence 2.0; GCC emissions by sector, per person, against each NDC target (illustrative paths) and per kilowatt-hour; clean-energy research from GCC institutions by topic, state and institution; and the modelled output of the tracked Saudi solar build-out. Every new chart downloads as PNG and CSV, shows its table and embeds. The Energy Atlas gains three country metrics and the modelled TWh beside the GW on its time bar, and its resource field now stops at the peninsula’s coast and borders.

The API console, webhooks, bulk downloads and client libraries

The developer guide now opens on a live console: choose any documented operation, fill its parameters with examples, run it against the site, and read the answer as a tree, a table or a chart with its rate-limit headers, beside the same call in curl, TypeScript, Python and fetch. Key holders can subscribe to signed webhooks when a project changes stage, is added or updated, a dataset is refreshed, a headline names a tracked project or company, or the brief is published. Whole datasets download as CSV and JSON where their licences allow, each with the licence of every column source; the rest say why not. TypeScript and Python clients and a Postman collection are generated from the OpenAPI document.

The Energy Atlas, the chart gallery, and the resource, country and news APIs

An interactive map of NASA POWER’s long-run solar, wind, temperature and dust resource across the Arabian Peninsula, with every tracked Saudi, GCC and captive project placed at locality level on a time slider from 2015 to 2030, and the GCC country series as a choropleth. Five story charts with PNG and CSV downloads and embeds. A solar and wind resource panel and matched headlines on project and company pages. Plant sites are not published: every project is drawn at its town, region or country.

Integrations: fourteen more public sources, and the catalogue of all of them

Every upstream source the site reads is now listed with its licence, cadence, last pull, rows and state. New: modelled annual output for every tracked solar project from PVGIS, marked as modelled; clean-energy equipment imports into the GCC from UN Comtrade, as derived aggregates; GCC emissions from Climate TRACE, Climate Watch and Our World in Data; IMF and SDG 7 indicators; company facts from Wikidata; data centres and exchanges by city from PeeringDB; research output from OpenAlex. EIA, Ember, NASA FIRMS and OpenAQ are built and wait for their keys.
