36-meter high solar receiver (MSR) with a total weight of approximately 900 tons
Muhammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is a solar park with an area of 77 km2 located in Seih Al-Dahal, about 50 km south of Dubai City. The power plant is being constructed by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA).
The project plans a production capacity of 5,000 MW by 2030, with a total investment of 50 billion dirhams. Once completed, the plant is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 6.5 million tons per year. The Muhammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is one of the largest renewable energy projects in the world based on the independent power producer (IPP) model. This long-term project will include a large-scale solar power plant to be built in three phases, with a concentrating solar power plant (CSP) to be built in the fourth phase.
Fourth Fiscal Period
This fourth phase of the project will be the largest single facility solar independent power project in the world, combining concentrating solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic technologies. During this phase, 950 megawatts (MW) of clean energy will be produced using three technologies. The Parabolic Basin Complex will produce 600 MW and the Solar Tower 100 MW, for a total of 700 MW from concentrating solar power plants (CSP), and an additional 250 MW from photovoltaic panels. In addition, 70,000 heliostats will be used to provide energy around the clock with the world's largest thermal storage system, equivalent to 15 hours.
