The UAE on Tuesday launched what it called the “world’s first” facility that can provide renewable energy at scale around the clock.
Abu Dhabi clean energy company Masdar will combine 5 gigawatts of solar capacity with 19 gigawatt hours of battery storage to produce 1 gigawatt of “uninterrupted clean power”, Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and chairman of Masdar, said at Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.
The project is being carried out in partnership with the Emirates Water and Electricity Company (Ewec).
