The most powerful solar station in the world will be built in Abu Dhabi

Deserts are almost ideal proving grounds for huge solar stations. It is this important aspect, as well as the desire to significantly neutralize the dependence of energy on traditional energy sources (oil and gas), prompted the construction in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of the most powerful integrated (single) solar power plant in the world.

Where and by whom the new powerful solar station will be built

Just the other day, the Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA) issued a statement that funding was received from seven large international banks at once for the implementation of such an ambitious project to generate green energy in Al Dhafra.

At the same time, the start of construction of the facility is scheduled for the first half of 2020, and the ceremonial commissioning is already scheduled for 2022.

At the moment, the largest single station in the world is already operating in the UAE. "Nur Abu Dhabi", which generates about 1.17 GW of green electricity through the use of 3.2 million solar panels.

Note. For the sake of fairness, it must be said that Nur Abu Dhabi is considered the most powerful single solar station. There are two more powerful solar stations in the world at once: this is the Bhadla solar station India, Rajasthan (total capacity 2,245 MW), as well as a solar station in the western part of China with a total capacity of 2,200 MW. But the fact is that their solar panels are distributed in groups over large areas.

It is for this reason that the largest and most powerful single solar station is considered "Nur Abu Dhabi"as its solar panels are assembled into one giant complex. This means that the new station under construction will be considered the largest and most powerful in the whole world.

New project developed by the corporation IPP Al-Dhafra Solar PV, will have a total capacity of 2 GW and approximately 4 million solar panels will be installed to generate this capacity.

At the same time, this solar station will belong to four companies at once: TAQA will own about 40% of the station, and the rest will be divided among themselves by such companies as - Masdar Clean Energy, French EDF Renewables and Chinese JinkoPower.

At the same time, it is assumed that the solar farm will be able to provide energy to 160,000 households, and will also supply electricity. Emirates Water and Electricity Co, which will distribute energy at its discretion.
