The Dubai Electrical energy and Water Authority (Dewa) has revealed that it has put in 100 MW of extra photo voltaic capability on the 5 GW Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Photo voltaic Park. The brand new capability is a part of the challenge’s 900 MW fifth part.
The state-owned utility mentioned the positioning now hosts 1,627 MW of photo voltaic. One other 1,233 MW of photo voltaic and concentrating solar energy (CSP) capability is being put in as a part of the fourth and fifth phases of the challenge.
Nevertheless, Dewa has but to put in the 250 MW of photo voltaic deliberate underneath the fourth stage of the challenge. Section 4 additionally consists of plans for a 100 MW photo voltaic tower and a 200 MW parabolic trough, as a part of 700 MW of CSP technology capability. Dewa initially deliberate to have the tower and trough commissioned in 2021.
Saudi Arabia’s ACWA Energy and Gulf Funding Corp. (GIC) are growing the fifth part of the photo voltaic subject. ACWA and GIC gained the contract to develop the AED 2.06 billion ($561 million), fifth part of the photo voltaic subject. The event companions agreed to just accept a report low photo voltaic tariff of $0.016953 for every kilowatt-hour of electrical energy generated by the challenge’s fifth part.
Final 12 months, Dewa mentioned that the fifth part can be accomplished in 2022. However in Might, it mentioned the challenge would have an eventual funding price of as much as AED 50 billion.
