The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has awarded Saudi Arabia’s ACWA Power the project to develop the recently announced 700MW concentrated solar power (CSP) plant in Dubai.

“This project is part of our clean energy strategy for the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park being built with CSP technology and will be completed by 2020,” said H.E. Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Managing Director and CEO of DEWA.

Al Tayer further added the CSP project would help in reducing the emissions and improve the energy efficiency bar for District Cooling plants, HVAC manufacturers and also for end-users.
