Qatar''s Largest PV Power Station, China-Built, Put Into
The 800-megawatt Al Kharsaah photovoltaic (PV) power station in Qatar was put into operation on Oct 18. Generally contracted by Power Construction Corporation of China
Qatar's first solar power plant, built by Chinese companies, was put into operation on Tuesday, marking a milestone for the country in energy transition. The 800MW Al Kharsaah Solar Power Plant, located in the desert area about 80 kilometers west of its capital Doha, is one of the largest in the Middle East.

The state-owned group, Qatar Solar Energy, is a leading manufacturer of solar power components and last year opened the largest integrated production facility for solar energy systems in the Middle East and North Africa region. Even more recently, Qatar's Solar Technologies, took a 49% stake in German-based SolarWorld.
With a total investment of $417 million, it is the first non-fossil fuel power station in the country endowed with petroleum and natural gas. As Qatar's first large-scale ground solar power plant connected to the grid at full capacity, the Al Kharsaah project can meet 10 percent of the country's peak electricity demand.
"Chinese equipment was applied throughout the project's 800 MW photovoltaic area, which makes up more than 60 percent of the total investment,”said Li Jun, on-site construction manager of Al Kharsaah Solar Power Plant.
The installed capacity of solar power generation in Qatar was recorded as 5.1MW, as of 2020, which is far from the required targets to have a considerable share of renewables in the energy mix. Thus umpteen solar PV projects are lined up to boost the capacity in the nation.
