EOI invited for a 1.5 GW Solar PV Project in UAE
Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC), has invited developers and developer consortiums to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for the development of a new 1.5 GW Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Independent Power Project (IPP) to be located in the Al Dhafra Region, in the Al Zarraf area in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, UAE.
The Zarraf Solar PV project will involve the development, financing, construction, operation, maintenance and ownership of the solar PV plant and associated infrastructure. The project will follow the independent power project program of Abu Dhabi, where developers enter into a long-term power purchase agreement with EWEC as the sole procurer of electricity. EWEC invites developers or developer consortiums to submit an EOI by the deadline of October 22, 2024.
Once operational, will produce enough electricity to power around 160,000 homes in the UAE. It will also reduce CO2 emissions by over 2.4 million metric tonnes annually and increase EWEC’s total solar power capacity to nearly 7 GW (AC).
