Masdar, EWEC world-biggest solar-battery project
Project combining solar and batteries to provide 1GW of ''round-the-clock'' dispatchable power unveiled at Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.
Co-located with the extremely well renowned Middle East Energy Show, join us for the inaugural Energy Storage Middle East Summit in Dubai, April 2026, as we bring our world leading energy storage series to one of the world's fastest-growing BESS markets.
The region does boast some of the world's most ambitious solar PV projects, such as the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai, which has a planned 5GW generation capacity by 2030 from both solar PV and concentrated solar power (CSP).
Pairing 5.2GWdc of solar PV generation with 19GWh of battery storage capacity will enable the plant to deliver up to a gigawatt of 'baseload' power 24/7, every day, Al Jaber claimed. “For decades, the biggest barrier facing renewable energy has been intermittency.
Chile is also home to the biggest BESS and solar PV project currently in construction, the Oasis de Atacama project which will pair 2GW of solar with up to 11GWh of BESS when completed. It is currently being built in phases, with developer Grenergy recently raising US$324 million for its 296MW PV, 1.1GWh fourth phase.
