Dubai voegt 200MW aan zonne-energie toe, zorgt voor toename van 4% aan aandeel schone energie van de geïnstalleerde capaciteit
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Hare Hoogheid Sjeik Mohammed bin Ravshid Al Maktoum, vicepresident en premier van de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten en emir van Dubai, heeft de eerste fase van 200 megawatt (MW) onthuld van de 800MW waarop het Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum zonne-energiepark. De Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA) implementeert de totale 800MW door gebruik te maken van het Independent Power Producer (IPP) model met nivellerende energiekosten van 2,99 dollarcent per kilowattuur door fotovoltaïsche zonnepanelen. De derde fase van 800MW wordt geïmplementeerd door middel van een vennootschap met een conglomeraat geleid door de Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) en Électricité de France (EDF) Group. De twee stadia van deze derde fase, die elk een capaciteit hebben van 300MW, zullen respectievelijk worden afgewerkt in 2019 en 2020.

HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, noted that the plant is the first in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) to use a single-axis solar tracking system, which increases energy efficiency by 20-30%. It uses over 800,000 self-cleaning solar cells that maintain a high-performance level. The project provides over 60,000 residences with clean energy, reducing over 270,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. It was implemented with over 2.4 million accident-free man-hours.
Al Tayer noted that the project has increased the share of clean energy to 4% of Dubai’s total installed capacity. Capacity of the photovoltaic and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) IPP–based projects currently under construction is 1,500MW.
“Masdar and DEWA have played an active role in enhancing the cost efficiency and productivity of renewable energy by deploying the latest advances in technology. Solar power complements conventional energy in a relationship that makes perfect economic sense in this region, given the number of clear sunny days in the year, by helping to reduce energy costs through peak shaving,” said HE Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of State and Chairman of Masdar.
“It is a great honour for the EDF Group to contribute to the Emirate of Dubai’s energy transition. I am delighted with the trusting relationship we have forged with our partners, DEWA and Masdar, to develop carbon-free energy in the region and beyond,” said HE Jean-Bernard Levy, Chairman and CEO of EDF Group.
