Chapter 1

Dubai includes narrowly missed out in reclaiming the title associated with the world’s cheapest sun photovoltaic (PV) energy, after receiving bids with the latest phase of an enormous solar park on the desert outskirts from the city.

 

Saudi Arabia’s Acwa Electrical power submitted a tariff connected with just 1. 6953 U. S. cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) for that 900MW fifth phase of Dubai’s Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (MBR) Solar Store, according to a report through the Middle East Economic Digest. That sets a different record for unsubsidized solar PV production, in the region at least. However, it is still slightly way short of that 1. 654 cents/kWh achieved in Portugal earlier this holiday season.

 

The Dubai authorities include delighted in repeatedly establishing new records for previous phases on the MBR Solar Park and they might be disappointed to have fallen just short now. A carefully-worded statement from the government-owned utility, DEWA, earlier this week claimed they had, however, set the latest world record for a new PV solar plant depending on the independent power the manufacturer (IPP) model.

 

The MBR Solar Park is built to be the largest single-site solar power facility on the planet and will have an overall total capacity of 5GW by means of 2030. It is only four years given it was set up, but its short history shows just how quickly solar energy prices have tumbled.

 

In 2015 the very first phase of the service was launched, with a 200MW SUN solar plant developed for the then-record tariff of YOUR FIVE. 85 cents/kWh. A new record was set for your second, 200MW phase at 5. 6 cents/kWh. Within June 2016, that benchmark was beaten for the 800MW third phase, which has a price of 2. 99 cents/kWh – at first chance a solar project had are available in under 3 cents/kWh.
