The
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has officially opened an 800 MW
solar PV tender. It is the country’s third, and will see 800 MW added to
the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar
Park, of which work on the second
200 MW phase is currently underway.
Bids
for the latest tender will close on September 29. Meanwhile, commissioning of
the 800 MW is set to commence, in phases, in 2018. All generated energy will be
purchased by DEWA under a 25 year PPA.
The
first 13 MW of the solar PV went online in April
2013, and the second phase is expected to be completed in early 2017. First Solar was selected to supply the modules for the first two phases. A consortium, led
by Saudi-based ACWA Power and TSK, a Spanish engineering and construction
company, was also recently taken on to develop, construct, own and operate the
project.
The
second, 200 MW tender set a world record levelized cost of electricity (LCOE)
figure of just 5.8 US cents/kWh. Commenting on the record at the Global Solar
Leaders Summit 2015, running between September 14 and 16 in Dubai HE Saeed
Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, said, "This enabled us to increase the
percentage of renewables in Dubai’s energy mix target from 1% to 7% by 2020 and
from 5% to 15% by 2030, and raise the capacity of phase three of the Solar Park
to 800MW based on the Independent Power Producer model." He added, "This is a
landmark achievement that will put the UAE at the forefront of renewable and
clean energy production in the region."
The
solar park also features
two testing facilities, one for PV and the other for
CPV. "The centre is currently testing around 25 modules of PV panels from global
manufacturers to check different properties and analyse the results to utilise
them in research and development," continued Al Tayer.
