Abu Dhabi''s 5.2 GW Solar + 19 GWh Storage Project Powers
This Abu Dhabi gigascale solar-plus-storage project marks a significant trend in the region, highlighting how large-scale battery storage paired with solar can provide 24/7
Masdar, the Emirati state-owned renewable investment company, has announced preferred contractors and suppliers for the world's first giga-scale 'round the clock' solar-plus-battery storage project in Abu Dhabi.
Masdar and Emirates Water and Electricity Co. (EWEC) plan to build a $6 billion, 5 GW/19 GWh solar-plus-storage project in Abu Dhabi, with operations set to start by 2027. Emirati state-owned renewable investment company Masdar is partnering with EWEC to build a giant solar and battery energy storage (BESS) facility.
EWEC has several large-scale solar projects in the region, including the 2 GW Al Dhafra solar project in Abu Dhabi. Earlier this month, it put out a request for proposals for 1.5 GW of solar.
The product attracted attention throughout the energy storage industry for its 6.25MWh capacity per 20-foot container, as well as a claim by CATL that the system will not experience degradation from its rated capacity during the first five years of operation at one full cycle per day.
