The world’s biggest solar park is reportedly up and running as the emirate celebrates landing this year’s COP25 climate shindig by claiming it has already slashed carbon emissions in three years.
News service Reuters has published a ‘press release’ announcing the 1.78 GW Noor Abu Dhabi solar park has entered commercial operation on time and on budget.
The announcement, carried on the newswire’s Zawya.com Middle Eastern news portal, purports to have been issued by EWEC, the Emirates Water and Electricity Company. EWEC appears to be a rebranded version of ADWEC, the Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Company although online searches for the EWEC website merely link through to ADWEC so pv magazine has thus far been unable to verify the veracity of the press release.
According to yesterday’s EWEC statement, Noor Abu Dhabi – referred to as “the world’s largest single solar project” – is up and running and supplying power for AED0.08888/kWh ($0.024), a figure that marked the world’s cheapest solar power when the tender was awarded in 2017.
The winners were a consortium made up of newly-formed Emirati water and power investment fund the Abu Dhabi Power Corporation, Japanese industrial conglomerate Marubeni Corp and Chinese solar giant Jinko Solar Holdings.
According to the EWEC release, the AED3.2 billion ($871 million), 8km² project was built with more than 3.2 million solar panels, employed more than 2,900 workers at the height of construction at the Sweihan site and will provide power for 90,000 people.
Carbon claim
That last figure may have risen recently as the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) yesterday made the astonishing claim the emirate has reduced per capita carbon emissions 19%, although it was not immediately obvious on what comparison.
DEWA announced reductions in per capita energy and water use in Dubai from 2015-18 and those figures may be the basis for what the emirate’s Supreme Council on Energy labelled a reduction “compared to the business as usual scenario”.
The DEWA statement cited the sprawling 5 GW Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park and Dubai’s Shams net metering program as contributory factors to the achievement.
The press release was published in the wake of the decision to award the COP25 climate change gathering this year to Abu Dhabi despite intense lobbying from the U.K.
