DUBAI: The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority will launch a tender to build the third phase of the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum Solar Park in six weeks, its CEO said.
“Within a short period, we will open the tender, within a month and a half,” Saeed Mohammed Al-Tayer said.
“The award of this contract will be this year, according to the program, in June — 800 megawatts will be awarded.”
DEWA said in September it would start accepting expressions of interest for the plant. Tayer did not give a figure for the cost of the project.
Dubai doubled the capacity of the second phase of the solar park from 100 MW to 200 MW after receiving the lowest-ever recorded cost for solar power in a tender won by Saudi Arabia’s ACWA Power and Spain’s TSK.
