Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park Phase 7

request for proposals (rfp) phase

The seventh phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is a 2 gigawatt solar-plus-storage project featuring a 1,400 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) with six-hour duration. The combined storage capacity of 8,400 megawatt-hours makes it one of the largest integrated solar-plus-storage projects globally. The project is developed under the independent power producer (IPP) model and is currently in the Request for Proposals (RFP) phase. It was initially configured with an aggregate capacity of 1,600 MWac up to 2,000 MWac in solar PV and 1,000 MW in BESS. The project will be commissioned in phases between 2027 and 2029, and upon completion, the solar park's total capacity will reach 8,060 MW by 2030.
