Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar), UAE alongside with its partners, EDF Renewables Middle East and Korea Western Power Co., Ltd. (KOWEPO) announces a significant milestone with the groundbreaking for Al Ajban Solar PV project, one of the largest single-site solar plants in the world.
The Project will have a power generation capacity of 1,500 MW (AC) and will consist of around 3 million bi-facial solar panels.
Once commercially operational in Q3 2026, Al Ajban Solar PV will make the UAE home to four of the world’s largest single-site solar power plants, with three of them located in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. The project will generate enough electricity to power 160,000 households across the UAE and is expected to reduce Abu Dhabi’s carbon emissions by 2.4 million metric tonnes per year.
The Al Ajban Solar PV power plant is part of the UAE’s NetZero by 2050 strategic initiative and is the third utility–scale solar park in the Emirate of AbuDhabi, making the Emirate a pioneer in Renewable Energy deployment.
