The largest photovoltaic energy storage company in the Middle East

While it is projected to reach its full capacity of 5 GW by the end of this decade, the current operational capacity of over 2.6 GW already positions it as one of the largest solar projects in the Middle East, and the world, with total investments amounting to AED 50 billion.

Full Capacity: 5 GW The Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, an expansive and continuously growing solar project, is among the largest single-site solar installations globally.

Meanwhile, Jinko Solar and JA Solar will supply Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon) solar PV modules for the 5.2GWdc of solar arrays at the Masdar-EWEC project in the UAE.

The two solar facilities are expected to significantly boost the share of renewable energy in Saudi Arabia's electricity generation, contributing around 50% of the energy mix by 2030. Covering a total area of 55.33 square kilometers, the projects will involve investments totaling $2.37 billion.

The Al Dhafra Solar PV plant has an impressive generating capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW), enough to supply clean electricity to more than 200,000 homes across the UAE. This achievement not only reduces the country's dependence on fossil fuels but also plays a crucial role in cutting carbon emissions, avoiding over 2.4 million tonnes of CO2 each year.

As such, the US$6 billion project is claimed by Masdar and its development partner Emirates Water & Electricity Co. (EWEC) to be the biggest project of its type in the world to date. Masdar, which has three Abu Dhabi state entities as its shareholders, announced the project on 10 January, at the beginning of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSEW).
