“Mohammed Bin Rashid Solar Energy” sets a new global number in “Guinness”

The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority recorded a new global number in “Guinness World Records”, for the longest continuous operation of a solar power station concentrated in the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Energy Complex, where the concentrated solar power plant continued within the fourth stage, with a production capacity of 950 megawatts, from the complex in the operation for a period of 39 consecutive days without interruption, thus increasing the number of records recorded by the project recorded Solar energy concentrated to four global numbers, in a new achievement that confirms Dubai World leadership in the field of renewable and clean energy.

The Managing Director, CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, Saeed Mohammed Al -Tayer, received a record certificate from the official arbitrator at the Guinness Blind Corporation, in the presence of a number of authority officials.

Al -Tayer emphasized that this new global recognition embodies the insightful vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, may God bless him, to increase the percentage of clean energy and employ the latest innovations and technologies to achieve carbon neutrality.

Al -Tayer added: “The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Complex is the largest solar energy complex in one location in the world according to the independent product model model, our most important projects to achieve the goals of the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, and the carbon neutrality strategy 2050 for the Emirate of Dubai to provide 100% of the production capacity of energy from clean energy sources by 2050, and we work to increase the planned production capacity of the complex to 7,260 By 2030, Megawat, which will raise the percentage of clean energy within the power mix in Dubai to 34%. ”

With the new world number registered, the number of record numbers set by the fourth stage of the complex in “Guinness Records” rises to four numbers, as three records previously recorded: “The highest concentrated solar energy tower” in the world, with a height of 263.126 meters, and “The largest storage capacity of thermal energy” in the world with a capacity of 5907 megawatts an hour using concentrated solar energy with the technology of equivalent pieces. Monitoring salt, and the highest production capacity of a one -located solar power plant with a capacity of 700 megawatts.

• The concentrated solar power station continued to run for 39 days without interruption.
