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.
