Currently, Abu Dhabi has installed a solar capacity of 1.3 GW. The major capacity shares of the total capacity come from the Noor Abu Dhabi (Sweihan) project with 1.17 GW capacity, whereas, the Shams solar CSP project gives its fair share of 100 MW. In addition, the Abu Dhabi virtual battery also contributed 108 MW to the region’s solar capacity.
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, the United Arab Emirates, 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 project will combine 5.2 GW of solar with 19 GWh of battery storage to produce 1 GW of continuous baseload renewable energy. The project was announced today by Sultan Ahmed Al-Jaber, United Arab Emirates Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, at the opening of the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Summit 2025.
