Northern Emirates Up to 300 MW of solar are planned in the Northern Emirates. Ras Al Khaimah Municipality announced its new renewable energy and energy eficiency program, including a target of 25-30% clean energy capacity by 2040. Also, FEWA and the emirate of Umm Al-Quwain signed an agreement for the development of a 200 MW solar park.
The electricity generated from the 3 MW solar plant will be sold to the of-taker at a fixed price for a period of 20 years under a PPA. With the electricity demand reaching up to 27.6 GW in 2019 and a forecast, by Frost and Sullivan, of 67 GW in 2030, Egypt is in need of substantial additional power capacity.
Global solar power capacity increased by more than 25 times in this decade, from almost 23 GW at the beginning of 2010 to 617.9 GW anticipated by the end of 2020. Overall investment in the MENA energy sector could reach $1 trillion by 2023, with the power sector accounting for the largest share of the spending at 36%.
Within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, the increased industrial activity and drive towards renewables is reflected in each country’s strategy. Continuous population growth and economic develop-ment have placed pressure on existing power assets and in some cases, created a significant gap between electricity production and demand.
The strategy has been updated based on two main phases: the first phase sets goals for the year 2030, and the second phase outlines the ambition for the year 2050, paving the way for the UAE to achieve its climate neutrality target by 2050. General focus transformation energy sector.
Currently, the construction of four additional new solar power plants with a capacity of 200 MW is engaged on site. Kom Ombo PV Solar Project, In October 2019, the EETC signed a solar PPA with a developer for a 200 MW plant at a price of $0.0275 per kWh that is expected to be completed in Q1 2021.
