Dubai has the ambition to develop projects that push the boundaries of the possible. One of these projects is the Dubai Solar Park or The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, a massive solar power plant, ready to become one of the largest in the world and contributed to making DEWA (Dubai Electricity & Water Authority) win the Best Sustainable Project of the Year in the UAE at the 2014 MEED Quality Awards. The project enters the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Emissions Strategy 2050 which aim to provide 100% of the energy production capacity from clean energy sources by 2050.
“Most people talk; we do things. They plan; we achieve. They hesitate; we move ahead. We are living proof that when human beings have the courage and commitment to transform a dream into reality, there is nothing that can stop them.” H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum
The Dubai Solar Park is planned to have a capacity of 5,000 megawatts (MW) when completed, so could power up to 5 million homes and promote a cleaner, more sustainable future for the planet. The park is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 6.5 million tons per year, a significant contribution to reducing the city’s carbon footprint.
The park is being built in phases.
- Phase 1 – Installation of 153,000 solar panels, producing a capacity of 28 MW annually
- Phase 2 – 2.3 million photovoltaic solar panels over an area of 4.5 square kilometers
- Phase 3 – DEWA partnership with a consortium led by Masdar and EDF Energies Nouvelles to provide clean energy for over 240,000 residences
- Phase 4 – Provide clean energy for around 320,000 residences and reduce 1.6 million tonnes of carbon emissions every year
- Phase 5 – Will use both photovoltaic and concentrated solar power, expected to be operational in 2030
Dubai Solar Park mastered the technology to create a sustainable future
The park uses photovoltaic panels to convert sunlight into electricity, each panel capable of producing up to 365 watts of power. The park also uses a tracking system that follows the sun’s movement to maximize the amount of energy produced and innovative technologies, including cleaning robots for photovoltaic panels to increase the plant’s efficiency.
Sustainability at his core
The park uses treated wastewater for cleaning the panels and vegetation management, reducing the amount of freshwater needed. It also has a desert conservation area that is home to a variety of local plant and animal species.
The Dubai Solar Park is another step for Dubai’s commitment to sustainability and UAE’s efforts to become a global leader in sustainable development. Using technology to create a better future for everyone. It is still just another of many sustainable development projects underway in the Emirates, with a strong focus on technology to create a more sustainable environment.
This project showcases the potential of technology to create a sustainable future. By using renewable energy sources like solar power, we can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and take a significant step toward a more sustainable future. Dubai continues to develop and expand, and projects like the Dubai Solar Park are an important reminder that sustainability should always be at the forefront of our minds.
Also the Innovation Center in the Park is open to visitors, providing an interactive experience on renewable energy and sustainable technologies. You can book your tickets here: mbrsic.ae
Excellent blog post. I certainly love this website. Keep it up!
Thank you INC for your nice comment.
Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging on websites I stumbleupon every day. Its always exciting to read articles from other writers and practice a little something from other sites.
Thank you EE for your comment. Happy that you liked our post.
Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
Hello These are truly great ideas in on the topic of blogging. You have touched some fastidious things here. Any way keep up wrinting. thank you
Valuable information. Lucky me I found your site by accident, and I am shocked why this accident did not happened earlier! I bookmarked it.
