Abu Dhabi, UAE

The 103.5-megawatt (MW) landmark project will introduce cost-effective, large-scale, utility wind power to the UAE’s electricity grid, further diversifying the country’s energy mix and advancing its energy transition.

Located in the Bab Al Shams area of Dubai, the project is a 1.2 MW PV plant connected to the DEWA grid. It provides electricity to a large farm that is growing animal fodder. The plant is located in the desert and equipped with automatic cleaning robots that clear the dust from the PV modules.

The facility produces about 17,500 megawatt-hours of clean electricity annually and offsets 15,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year.
