QatarEnergy has planned for a 2 GW solar facility in Dukhan City, Qatar.
The new solar project will be added to QatarEnergy’s solar power portfolio, which includes the existing Al-Kharsaah solar power plant, which was inaugurated in 2022 with a capacity of 800 MW of electricity, and two solar power projects that QatarEnergy is building in Ras Laffan and Mesaieed industrial cities with a total production capacity of 875 MW, and which are expected to start production before the end of 2024.
With the addition of the new Dukhan Solar Power Plant, QatarEnergy’s portfolio of solar power projects in Qatar will reach a capacity of about 4,000 MW by the year 2030. This represents approximately 30% of Qatar’s total electrical power production capacity.
