Masdar and Emirates Water and Electricity Co. (EWEC) plan to build a $6 billion, 5 GW/19 GWh solar-plus-storage project in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates, with operations set to start by 2027. Emirati state-owned renewable investment company Masdar is partnering with EWEC to build a giant solar and battery energy storage (BESS) facility.
EWEC has several large-scale solar projects in the region, including the 2 GW Al Dhafra solar project in Abu Dhabi. Earlier this month, it put out a request for proposals for 1.5 GW of solar.
The Al Dhafra PV2 Solar project in Abu Dhabi – for which ABB supplies automation and optimization power generation solutions – is now exporting 100 percent of its designed capacity onto the grid.
Covering an area of 20 square km in the Al Dhafra region, located around 30 km south of Abu Dhabi City, the 2 GW plant uses four million solar modules to generate enough electricity for 200,000 homes across the UAE per year.
Masdar, the Emirati state-owned renewable investment company, has announced preferred contractors and suppliers for the world’s first giga-scale ’round the clock’ solar-plus-battery storage project in Abu Dhabi.
“We are confident that ABB’s technology will be instrumental in sustaining Al Dhafra operations for the future.” Al Dhafra PV2 marks ABB’s first solar project in the UAE and reflects ABB’s continued drive to increase its automation and digital footprint in the region’s expanding renewable energy market.
