The first phase&#8217;s execution was crucial in helping Dubai achieve its goals of diversifying its energy mix. The first phase is about 153,000 solar cells coupled to 13 transformers in inverter buildings. 28 million kWh of energy is produced annually from the output, which is converted to 33 kV. The first phase makes an annual decrease in carbon emissions of around 15,000 tons possible. The project&#8217;s surface area is 280,000 square meters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 200MW second phase of the solar park was officially opened on March 20, 2017, by H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. It uses the IPP model and is the largest and first project of its kind in the region&#8217;s solar power industry. A partnership led by ACWA Power from Saudi Arabia and TSK from Spain invested AED 1.2 billion to build the plant. The initiative reduces annual carbon emissions by 214,000 tonnes while providing sustainable energy to 50,000 homes in the Emirate. Over a 4.5 square kilometre area, 2.3 million photovoltaic solar panels were deployed during this phase. The initiatives by Shuaa Energy 1, which DEWA and the collaboration established,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 800MW photovoltaic third phase of the solar park will be built by a consortium led by Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) and EDF Group through its subsidiary, EDF \u00c9nergies Nouvelles, according to DEWA&#8217;s announcement in June 2016. DEWA set a new global record of USD 2..99 cents per kW\/h for the IPP bid. With a sophisticated solar tracking system that increases generation by 20\u201330% compared to fixed installations, this solar plant\u2014the first of its kind in the Middle East and Africa region\u2014is a pioneer in the field. On May 1, 2018, the third phase&#8217;s 200MW initial stage started operating. In 2019 and 2020, the second and third phases went into operation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The solar park&#8217;s fourth phase, which combines CSP and photovoltaic technologies, is the world&#8217;s largest single-site solar IPP project. At a cost of AED 15.78 billion, three technologies will be used in this phase to generate 950 MW of clean energy. It will have a total capacity of 950 MW, of which 700 MW will come from concentrated solar power, distributed as follows: 250 MW from photovoltaic solar panels, 100 MW from a solar tower, and 600 MW from a parabolic basin complex. The project will use 70,000 heliostats and have the longest thermal storage capacity in the world\u201415 hours\u2014to provide energy around the clock. At 260 meters, the CSP project&#8217;s solar tower will be the tallest in the entire globe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DEWA uses photovoltaic solar panels to construct the 900MW fifth phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. By partnering with the consortium led by ACWA Power and Gulf Investment Corporation and using the IPP model, DEWA once again set a global record by receiving the lowest bid of USD 1.6953 cents per kilowatt hour (kW\/h) for this project phase. Starting in Q2 of 2021, this phase will gradually go into operation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solar_Parks_Contribution_to_the_Strategy\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solar Park\u2019s Contribution to the Strategy?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14720 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Mohammed-Bin-Rashid-Al-Maktoum-Solar-Parks-Contribution-to-the-Strategy-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Solar Park\u2019s Contribution to the Strategy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Mohammed-Bin-Rashid-Al-Maktoum-Solar-Parks-Contribution-to-the-Strategy-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Mohammed-Bin-Rashid-Al-Maktoum-Solar-Parks-Contribution-to-the-Strategy-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Mohammed-Bin-Rashid-Al-Maktoum-Solar-Parks-Contribution-to-the-Strategy-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Mohammed-Bin-Rashid-Al-Maktoum-Solar-Parks-Contribution-to-the-Strategy.jpg 1153w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the cornerstones of this modern plan is the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (MBR) Solar Park.
