Dewa invites bids for power plant

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) has formally announced the commencement of a competitive process to select an EPC contractor or EPC consortium to participate in the 10 MW solar photovoltaic power project.

According to the ads in local dailies, the project will be handled by Dewa on behalf of the six entities of the Dubai supreme Council of Energy (DSCE).

HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, launched the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park at the start of 2012.

With an expected 1,000MW capacity and costing Dh12 billion, it is located in Seih Al Dahal on the Dubai to Al Ain Road. This supports the vision of His Highness towards promoting the sustainable future development for the Emirate of Dubai, and the initiatives launched by His Highness to build a “green sustainable economy.”

It also plans for the preservation of natural resources while protecting the environment from pollution.

Dewa will manage and operate the overall development of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park as part of the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030.
