The total capacity of the projects under construction at the solar park is 1,800MW from PV technology. The Solar Park supports the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050 to provide 100% of its energy production capacity from clean energy sources by 2050. Phases of energy production
Its development is in line the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050 to provide 100 per cent of Dubai’s total power capacity from clean energy sources by 2050. The current production capacity at the solar park is 2,860MW and the total capacity under construction is 1,800MW.
The emirate of Dubai announced in January 2012 that a 1 GW Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park would be built in phases and completed by 2030 in Seih Al Dahal, around 50 km south of Dubai city, to meet its renewable energy supply target.
It has a planned production capacity of 5,000 MW by 2030, with investments totalling AED 50 billion. When completed, it will save over 6.5 million tons of carbon emissions annually. The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park contributed to DEWA winning the Best Sustainable Project of the Year in the UAE at the 2014 MEED Quality Awards.
The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, developed and managed by the Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA), is one of Dubai’s key initiatives to achieve the goals set in the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy (DCES) 2050, i.e. to produce 75% of city’s energy requirements from clean sources by 2050. What is the Project?
The project was inaugurated in November 2020. Masdar is developing the sixth phase of this iconnic project. Masdar, as part of a consortium, developed the third phase of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park (MBR) Solar Park in Dubai.
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is a solar park spread over a total area of 77 km (30 sq mi) in Saih Al-Dahal, about 50 km (31 mi) south of the city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is one of the world''s largest renewable projects based on an independent power producer (IPP) model. Besides solar farms using PV technology, the proj…
