Solar Park:
Second Phase
The 200MW second phase 2 of the solar park is the largest and
first project of its kind in the region’s solar energy sector,
based on the IPP model. The project was implemented through a
partnership with the consortium led by ACWA Power from Saudi
Arabia, and Spain’s TSK, with an investment of AED 1.2 billion. The
project will provide clean energy to 50,000 residences in the
Emirate, reducing 214,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. This
phase installed 2.3 million photovoltaic (PV) solar panels over an
area of 4.5 square kilometres.
The efforts of Shuaa Energy 1, which was established by DEWA and
the consortium led by ACWA Power and TSK, have been vital in
completing the work efficiently and professionally, with 1.5
million Safe Man Hours without Lost Time Injury.
