DEWA Phase Ⅳ 700 MW CSP and 250 MW PV IPP Project
The project is part of the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030 which seeks to secure a sustainable supply of energy by diversifying energy supply sources.Dubai aims to reduce its reliance on imported natural gas by achieving 7%of installed capacity from solar energy by 2020,25% by 2030, and 75% by 2050.

The Project will be developed on a Build, Own and Operate (“BOO”) basis and its entire capacity will be sold to DEWA under a 35-year Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) post Commercial Operation Date.
The project is being developed in the Saih al Dahal area which is approximately 50km south of Dubai or 20km southeast of the town of Al Lisaili. The Project will consist of one 100 MW concentrated tower plant, three 200 MW parabolic trough plants each with molten salt storage, and was later amended to include 250 MW of photovoltaic generation. The project is the 4th phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.
The Project utilises the state-of-the-art combination of central tower (100MW) and parabolic trough (600MW) technologies to collect energy from the sun, store it in molten salt and produce steam as required to generate electricity during the day and throughout the night. In addition, 250MW of photovoltaic capacity has also been added to the project to optimize the overall land usage, at a cost of 2.4 US cents per kilowatt hour - in line with the most competitive PV tariff globally. The CSP leg of the project features one of the world’s tallest solar tower measuring 260 meters and one of the world's highest thermal energy storage capacity (15-hours).
