The park is expected to have an installed capacity of 5,000 megawatts by 2030, after which the solar park will help offset more than 6.5 million tons of carbon emissions annually.

Dubai is setting an ambitious goal to meet all of its electricity needs from clean energy by 2050. Additionally, the UAE plans to invest AED600 billion in clean energy projects as part of its 2050 Net Zero Emissions Strategy. In addition, it is developing the world’s largest solar power plant with an installed capacity of 2 GW in the Al Dhafra area of ​​Abu Dhabi.
