Abu Dhabi Emirate to Build Solar Plant with 500-MW Capacity
Abu Dhabi will build a solar power plant capable of generating 500 MW, Reuters reported. The $350-million project could come online by 2009, and is funded by investors, Mubadala Development's Abu Dhabi Future Energy and the Abu Dhabi Water & Electricity Authority.
Abu Dhabi Future Energy CEO Sultan al-Jaber told Reuters that the oil-rich emirate does "not want to be 100 per cent dependent on [hydrocarbon power]. We have an economic development programme dedicated to establishing an entirely new economic sector focused on alternative energy and sustainable technologies."
