The project includes a photovoltaic power plant with an installed capacity of 2,100 MW, and a 33/400 KV booster station and supporting switchyards. A global landmark project in renewable energy, the Al Dhafra PV2 solar project will become the world's largest single site photovoltaic plant.
It will generate enough electricity to sustain power for up to 160,000 homes across the UAE and reduce Abu Dhabi's carbon emissions by more than 2.4 million metric tons per year, which is equivalent to taking 470,000 cars off the roads. The plant will increase the share of clean energy in the UAE's total energy mix to more than 13 percent.
China-built hospital starts to serve Dominicans
