Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park

The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which DEWA is implementing, is the largest single-site solar park in the world, using the Independent Power Producer (IPP) model. It will have a production capacity of 5,000MW by 2030 with a total investment of AED 50 billion. Upon its completion, the Solar Park will reduce more than 6.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually. By end of 2022, the capacity of clean energy at solar park has reached 2,027MW, increasing the production capacity of clean energy in Dubai to about 14% of the total production capacity of electrical energy. The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park supports the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Emissions Strategy 2050 to provide 100% of its energy production capacity from clean energy sources by 2050


Phases of energy production

  • The 13MW 1st phase uses photovoltaic solar (PV) panels and became operational in October 2013.
  • The 200MW 2nd Phase uses photovoltaic solar (PV) panels and became operational in March 2017.
  • The 800MW 3rd phase uses photovoltaic solar (PV) panels and became fully operational in November 2020.
  • The 950MW 4th phase combines 700MW from Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) and 250MW using photovoltaic solar (PV) panels. A total of 417MW of the 4th phase using PV and CSP is already operational
  • The 900MW 5th phase uses photovoltaic solar panels, A total of 600MW of the 4th phase is already operational
  • The 1800MW 6th phase uses photovoltaic solar panels (PV ) . It will become operational in stages.
