The Khazna 1500MW photovoltaic EPC project in Abu Dhabi, UAE, adopts a centralized photovoltaic layout, equipped with an automatic cleaning system, centralized inverters, prefabricated substations, single-axis tracking brackets, and related ancillary facilities. Upon completion, the project will effectively enrich the diversity of the UAE’s power grid, meet the growing industrial and residential electricity demand in Abu Dhabi, and provide solid support for optimizing the local energy structure and building a clean, low-carbon, modern power system.
Khazna Solar PV is part of EWEC’s region-leading strategic plans to substantially increase solar power capacity in Abu Dhabi and the UAE. Upon completion, Khazna Solar PV will generate enough electricity to power approximately 160,000 homes across the UAE, avoiding more than 2.4 million metric tonnes of carbon emissions in Abu Dhabi per year. The plant will feature nearly three million solar panels that will follow the sun’s path throughout the day, maximising solar energy capture and output. Khazna Solar PV will also significantly contribute to EWEC’s strategic plans to increase Abu Dhabi’s solar power generation capacity to 18GW by 2035 and to meet 60 per cent of the Emirate’s total power demand from renewable and clean energy sources by 2035, in line with the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy’s (DoE) Clean Energy Strategic Target 2035 for Electricity Production in Abu Dhabi.
