UAE President witnesses launch of world''s first
Located in Abu Dhabi, the project will feature a 5.2GW (DC) solar photovoltaic (PV) plant, coupled with a 19 gigawatt-hour (GWh) BESS, setting
The launch of the solar power and battery storage project marks a pivotal moment in the clean energy transformation, allowing renewable energy to be dispatched 24 hours a day, seven days a week, reaffirming the UAE's position as a global pioneer in renewable energy deployment.
Located in Abu Dhabi, the project will feature a 5.2 gigawatt DC solar photovoltaic plant, coupled with a 19 gigawatt-hour battery energy storage system, setting a global benchmark in clean energy innovation. “In collaboration with EWEC and our partners, we will develop a renewable energy facility capable of providing clean energy round the clock.
Delivering up to 1 gigawatt (GW) of baseload power every day generated from renewable energy, it will be the largest combined solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) in the world.
The region does boast some of the world's most ambitious solar PV projects, such as the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai, which has a planned 5GW generation capacity by 2030 from both solar PV and concentrated solar power (CSP).
The record-breaking solar power and battery storage project will create over 10,000 new jobs, driving innovation and economic growth
The 19GWh battery storage facility will enable seamless integration of solar power into the grid. By integrating state-of-the-art renewable technologies with energy storage solutions, this landmark project exemplifies the UAE's commitment to scaling innovative clean energy solutions to meet evolving energy demands.
