Qatar, the Persian Gulf emirate hosting this year’s United Nations climate talks, plans to tender its first solar power project in the first quarter of 2013, the country’s energy minister said.
The project will generate 200 megawatts of power when completed by 2020, Mohammed al-Sada told a press conference in Doha today. The project will produce 2 percent of the nation’s electricity, he said. It’s the first step in a goal to have 1,800 megawatts of solar power by 2020.
