Abu Dhabi officially opened the World's largest Concentrated
Solar Power (CSP) plant, which cost $600 million to build and will provide
electricity to 20,000 homes.
The world's largest Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) facility to date has been
activated in the Middle East to fuel the region's future growth with clean
energy.
The Shams 1 thermosolar plant, located in the desert of Abu Dhabi United Arab
Emirates (UAE), adds 100 MW of sustainable, renewable electricity to the
national grid, which otherwise consumes fossil fuels.
The plant was designed and developed by Shams Power Company, a joint venture of
UAE renewable energy company Masdar, France's Total, and Spain's Abengoa Solar.
In addition to advancing long-term UAE energy diversification plans, Shams 1
demonstrates the solar potential of the whole region, where annual global
radiation reaches 2000 kWh per square meter.
"The UAE's investment in renewable energy offers the region a pragmatic path to
reducing per capita carbon emissions, which are currently among the highest in
the world," said IRENA's Director-General Adnan Z. Amin.
Shams 1 follows a 10 MW solar PV site at the Masdar City clean energy complex.
Cutting-edge research at the Masdar Institute, including work on solar storage
and dust control, could drive the adoption of solar energy around the region.
"The inauguration of Shams 1 is a major breakthrough for renewable energy in the
Middle East," said Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, CEO of Masdar. "Just like the rest
of the word, the region is faced with meeting its rising demand for energy,
while also working to reduce its carbon footprint."
