Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park

The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which DEWA is implementing, is the largest single-site solar park in the world, using the independent power producer (IPP) model. The total capacity of the solar energy projects commissioned at the solar park has reached 3,660MW from solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and concentrated solar power (CSP). Additionally, the total capacity of the projects under construction at the solar park is 1,000MW, all based on PV technology. By 2030, the solar park’s planned production capacity will increase to 7,260MW. Upon its completion, the solar park will reduce eight million tonnes of carbon emissions annually. The solar park supports the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050 to provide 100% of its energy production capacity from clean sources by 2050.


Phases of energy production

  • The 13MW 1st Phase uses PV panels and became operational in October 2013. It reduces 15,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
  • The 200MW 2nd Phase uses PV panels and became fully operational in March 2017. It reduces 214,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
  • The 800MW 3rd Phase uses PV panels and became fully operational in April 2020. It reduces 1.055 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
  • The 950MW 4th Phase combines CSP and PV panels and became fully operational in December 2023. It reduces 1.6 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
  • The 900MW 5th Phase uses PV and became fully operational in June 2023. It reduces 1.18 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
  • The 1,800MW 6th Phase uses PV. It will reduce 2.36 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually when completed. It will become operational in stages between 2024 and 2026.
