The Masdar City 10 megawatts Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Plant, located North of Masdar City, was the first grid-connected renewable energy project in the UAE and the largest of its kind in the Middle East when inaugurated in 2009.
The facility produces approximately 17,500 megawatt-hours (MWh) of clean electricity annually and displaces approximately 15,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year. The plant consists of 87,780 multi-crystalline and thin film modules supplied by Suntech and First Solar.
In line with its strategy to build in-house operations and management capabilities, Masdar’s Clean Energy division took over operations and maintenance of the plant in September 2019 through its newly established company Masdar Specialized Technical Services (MSTSC), with the support of MASE Contractors, a Middle East operator.
