Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) plans to launch Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) projects for a total capacity of 1,000 MW by 2030 at its Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum solar park in Dubai (United Arab Emirates).
The 1,000 MW project will be developed under the Independent Power Producer (IPP) model. DEWA has released a tender for leading international CSP consultants to submit their proposals for advisory services for the 200 MW first project of the CSP plant. It will be operational by April 2021.
The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum solar park is the largest single-site solar park in the world that uses the IPP model. It will produce 1,000 MW by 2020 and 5,000 MW by 2030. The 13 MW first phase became operational in October 2013, and the 200 MW second phase will be operational in April 2017.
Dubai, through its Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, targets to provide 7% of the emirate's total power output from clean energy sources by 2020. This target will increase to 25% by 2030 and 75% by 2050.
