Work on Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is progressing as per schedule

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer checks job development at fourth and also fifth stages of the Mohammed container Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park
The work with Mohammed container Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is advancing based on timetable and also will certainly improve tidy power share in Dubai Electrical power and also Water Authority’s complete power generation to get to 14 percent by the end of 2022, according to Dewa.
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, taking care of supervisor and also chief executive officer of Dubai Power and also Water Authority (Dewa), examined the job development at the Mohammed container Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the biggest single-site solar park worldwide with an organized complete ability of 5,000 megawatts (MW) by 2030.
” Operate In the 900MW 5th stage with financial investments amounting to Dh2.058 billion is advancing as prepared. The 2nd job is 93.3 percent total while the 3rd job is 23.06 percent total,” Dewa stated in declaration on Monday.
The 5th stage will certainly give tidy power to over 270,000 homes in Dubai and also will certainly minimize 1.18 million tonnes of carbon discharges yearly. It will certainly be appointed in phases till 2023.
Al Tayer was informed by Shuaa Power 3 authorities, on the development made in the 2nd and also 3rd tasks of the 5th stage of the solar park. Waleed container Salman, executive vice-president of Company Growth and also Quality at Dewa, and also the job’s group existed on the event.
Dewa is carrying out the 5th stage in collaboration with a consortium led by ACWA Power and also Gulf Financial investment Company utilizing the Independent Power Manufacturer (IPP) design. In 2019, the authority attained a globe document by obtaining the most affordable proposal of $1.6953 cents per kilowatt hr (Levelised Price of Power) for this stage.
The 5th stage will certainly be executed by Shuaa Power 3, developed by Dewa, which has 60 percent of the shares and also the consortium led by ACWA Power and also Gulf Financial Investment Company which has 40 percent of the remainder of the shares.
The 5th stage is being executed utilizing the current solar photovoltaic or pv bifacial modern technologies, which permits solar radiation to get to the front and also rear of the panels, with single-axis monitoring to raise generation.
Utilizing completely automated robotics to cleanse the photovoltaic panels with no human treatment, will certainly raise effectiveness. Given that its industrial procedures in 2015, the very first job whose manufacturing ability has actually enhanced from 300MW to 330MW, has actually been tape-recording higher-than-expected efficiency.
The solar park’s tasks make up among the essential columns of the Dubai Clean Power Method 2050 and also the Dubai Web Absolutely No Carbon Emissions Method to give 100 percent of Dubai’s complete power ability from tidy power resources by 2050.
4th stage development
Al Tayer likewise examined the job development at the 950MW 4th stage of the Mohammed container Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. The 4th stage makes use of the IPP design with financial investments as much as Dh15.78 billion.
He was informed by Noor Power 1 authorities on the job development in the 4th stage, which is the biggest single-site job that incorporates Concentrated Solar energy (CSP) and also solar innovation utilizing the IPP design. The total building and construction of the job is 90 percent total.
A consortium led by Dewa and also ACWA Power created a task firm, Noor Power 1, to make, construct, and also run the 4th stage of the Mohammed container Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. Dewa has 51 percent of the firm while ACWA Power holds 25 percent, and also the Chinese Silk Roadway Fund has 24 percent.
The 4th stage of the Solar Park makes use of 3 crossbreed modern technologies to generate tidy power: 600MW from an allegorical container facility (3 systems of 200MW each), 100MW from the globe’s highest solar energy tower at 262.44 metres (based upon Molten Salt innovation), and also 250MW from photovoltaic or pv photovoltaic panels.
On its conclusion, the job will certainly have the biggest thermal storage space ability worldwide of 15 hrs, enabling power schedule night and day. The 4th stage will certainly give tidy power for around 320,000 homes and also minimize 1.6 million tonnes of carbon discharges yearly.
The present ability at the Solar Park is 1,627 MW utilizing solar photovoltaic or pv panels. Dewa is carrying out extra tasks with a complete ability of 1,233 MW utilizing solar photovoltaic or pv and also CSP.
Dewa’s set up ability has actually gotten to 14,117 MW of electrical power. Tidy power share in Dubai’s power mix has actually gotten to 11.5 percent and also is anticipated to get to 14 percent by the end of 2022.
