Dubai Solar Park Hits 3.9 GW Milestone in 2025

• Dubai's solar park powers ahead, reaching 3,860 MW with cutting-edge tech, aiming for 7.26 GW by 2030. A bright future in renewable energy!

Dubai's Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park has reached an installed capacity of 3,860 MW, with 800 MW added in 2025 alone, according to Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA). The solar park, which combines photovoltaic and concentrated solar power technologies, is set to reach a total capacity of 7.26 GW by 2030. The sixth phase, currently under construction by Masdar, has contributed significantly to this year's capacity increase.

The solar park's development began with a 13 MW phase in 2013, followed by a 200 MW phase in 2017, and an 800 MW phase in 2020. Subsequent phases in 2023 added a combined 1,850 MW of CSP and PV capacity. DEWA has also initiated a tender process for the seventh phase, which could add up to 2 GW.

How is Dubai's Solar Park expanding its capacity towards 7.26 GW by 2030?

• The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is leveraging both photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies to diversify and maximize energy output.
  
• The sixth phase, under construction by Masdar, is a key contributor to the park's expansion, focusing on integrating advanced solar technologies.
  
• DEWA's tender process for the seventh phase aims to add up to 2 GW, which will significantly boost the park's capacity.
  
• The park's expansion strategy includes partnerships with leading renewable energy companies to ensure the integration of cutting-edge solar technologies.
  
• The solar park is part of Dubai's broader strategy to increase the share of clean energy in its energy mix to 75% by 2050.
  
• Continuous investment in research and development is being made to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of solar technologies used in the park.
  
• The park's expansion is supported by favorable government policies and incentives aimed at promoting renewable energy projects.
  
• The solar park is expected to reduce carbon emissions significantly, contributing to Dubai's sustainability goals and climate action commitments.
  
• The project is creating numerous job opportunities in the renewable energy sector, supporting local economic growth.
• The park's development is aligned with Dubai's vision to become a global hub for clean energy and green economy.
