TotalEnergies and QatarEnergy inaugurate huge solar energy
TotalEnergies and Middle East partner QatarEnergy have inaugurated a huge solar energy project linked to Qatar''s LNG expansion and the various joint ventures set up for the North Field East
Qatar's solar energy future is steadily developing. With average daily sunshine of around 9.5 hours, low-cloud cover conditions and plentiful space, there is great scope for small, medium as well as large-scale solar power projects in the country.
Samsung C&T E&C Group has been awarded the contract for Qatar's largest solar power project, underscoring its growing leadership in renewable energy infrastructure. Commissioned by QatarEnergy, the 2,000MW Dukhan Solar Power Project represents the largest capacity solar facility ever undertaken by a Korean construction company.
The start-up of the Al Kharsaah solar power plant represents a milestone in the country's energy history, since it is set to produce 10% of its peak electricity demand at full capacity. Over its lifespan, it will also enable Qatar to reduce its CO 2 emissions by 26 million metric tons.
Spanning 27㎢—equivalent to 3,790 football fields—the massive site will be fitted with 2.74 million solar panels. Upon completion in 2030, the plant will generate enough electricity to power approximately 750,000 households, even considering Qatar's high per-capita energy use.
