Arctech announced in a statement that it had signed a 2.1 GW trackers supply agreement for Al Dhafra solar PV power plant in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
The contract was awarded by main EPC, China Machinery Engineering Corporation (CMEC).
The project will adopt Arctech’s flagship product SkySmart II, the first IEC-certificated multi-point parallel drive tracking system, which can cope with the harsh natural environment and reduce the cost per KWh of the project significantly.
Al Dhafra Solar PV IPP will be the world’s largest single-site solar power plant, using approximately 4 million solar panels to generate enough electricity for approximately 160,000 homes across the UAE.
The project will be located approximately 35 kilometers from Abu Dhabi city.
Earlier during July 2020, UAE’s The Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) awarded the project to a consortium led by Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA) and Masdar, with partners EDF and JinkoPower. (read more)
