Masdar, Engie, and EWEC Develop 1.5 GW Khazna Solar PV Project in Abu Dhabi
Masdar, Engie, and Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) are collaborating on the Khazna Solar PV project in Abu Dhabi, which will generate 1.5 GW of decarbonized electricity by 2027. This facility will feature 3 million photovoltaic panels and a 19 GWh Battery Energy Storage System, making it the largest of its kind globally, and is expected to power approximately 160,000 households while reducing CO2 emissions by over 2.4 million tons annually. Advanced digital technologies will be employed to optimize performance and address solar energy intermittency.

Masdar, Engie, and Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) are developing the Khazna Solar PV project in Abu Dhabi, set to provide 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of continuous decarbonized electricity by 2027. The facility will feature 3 million photovoltaic panels with a production capacity of 5.2 GW and a 19 gigawatt-hour (GWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), making it the largest of its kind globally.
This setup aims to eliminate intermittency issues associated with solar energy, delivering power day and night year-round. Once operational, it will supply electricity to around 160,000 households, preventing over 2.4 million tons of CO2 emissions annually. Advanced digital solutions will enhance efficiency, including solar tracking technology, IoT sensors, and cloud monitoring systems for optimal performance.
