Why Diesel Generators Are a Hot Commodity in Saudi Arabia?

Businesses across Saudi Arabia face frequent power outages - Jeddah alone reported 42 unplanned outages last year. Construction sites, hospitals, and factories can’t afford downtime. That’s why diesel generator wholesale price searches jumped 27% in 2023 across the kingdom. But here’s the kicker: 68% of buyers overpay due to hidden import fees and unclear specs.
