The United Arab Emirates’ two largest utility companies are planning major solar power projects as the price of solar energy has dropped below that of gas.
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) unveiled plans last week to develop 1 GW of concentrated solar power (CSP) capacity by 2030. The project, which will be built in the Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum Solar Park, is intended to be the largest CSP project in the world.
