The United Arab Emirates is planning a $6 billion mega solar and battery project to provide uninterrupted power supply as it targets a rapid boost in clean energy.
Abu Dhabi’s state-controlled Masdar will build 5.2 gigawatts of new solar capacity, Chief Operating Officer Abdulaziz Alobaidli said. It will be linked to battery storage that would make the total project one of the world’s largest such facilities when completed by 2027.
