TAQA, Masdar consortium to develop world's largest solar power plant in Abu Dhabi - Arabianbusiness:
A consortium led by Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA) and Masdar, with partners French electric utility company, EDF and JinkoPower, will develop the world’s largest solar power plant in Abu Dhabi.
Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) awarded the contract to develop the 2 GW Al Dhafra Solar Photovoltaic, PV, Independent Power Producer, IPP, project, which will be located approximately 35 kilometres from Abu Dhabi city.
The procurement process resulted in one of the most cost-competitive tariffs for solar PV energy, set at AED 4.97 fils/kWh (USD 1.35 cents/kWh) on a levelised cost of electricity basis.
The Al Dhafra Solar PV project is expected to provide approximately 160,000 households across the UAE with electricity. It will be larger than TAQA’s existing 1.2 GW ‘Noor Abu Dhabi’ solar plant, which is currently the world’s largest operational single-project solar PV plant.
