The Khazna Solar Photovoltaic (PV) project is a greenfield renewable energy project situated in the Al Khazna area of Abu Dhabi. The 1.5 gigawatts (AC) project, comparable in size to Al Dhafra Solar PV—one of the world’s largest single-site solar plants—is a key component of EWEC’s strategic plan to triple its renewable energy capacity by 2030.
Once operational, the plant will power up to 160,000 homes and reduce Abu Dhabi’s carbon emissions by over 2.4 million metric tonnes annually, an amount equivalent to removing 470,000 cars from the road.
The Khazna Solar PV project will involve the development, financing, construction, operation, maintenance, and ownership of the plant and associated infrastructure. The successful developer or developer consortium will own up to 40 per cent of the entity, while the remaining equity will be held indirectly by the Abu Dhabi Government.
