The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is already partially in operation solar park in the United Arab Emirates . In the final stage, it should have an installed capacity of 5 GW , which would make it the world's largest solar park. The total investment cost is AED 50 billion (€ 12.1 billion).
The solar park is located in Seih Al-Dahal , about 50 km south of the city of Dubai . The system was implemented by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority and is named after Muhammad bin Raschid Al Maktum . Construction began in 2012. As of 2019, the first two expansion phases with a total of 213 MW are in operation and a further expansion phase with 800 MW is under construction. This should go into operation in 2020. The facility also houses the tallest solar tower in the world.
The construction of the first expansion stage with 13 MW took place in 2013. In May 2018, the next area with 200 MW was put into operation. Until mid-2016, this was considered to be the solar park with the world's lowest electricity generation costs ; the operator Acwa Power receives a fixed feed- in tariff of 5.84 US cents / kWh (4.89 euro cents) over a period of 25 years. In the third expansion stage, which was put out to tender in mid-2016, this feed-in tariff was again greatly reduced. For the 800 MW p system, the operator receives a feed-in tariff of the equivalent of 2.6 ct / kWh over 25 years. The yield is around 2300 kWh per year and kW of installed power.
