As of now, Dubai managed to achieve an installed capacity of more than 1 GW, most of which comes from Phase I, II, and III of MBR solar park. In 2020, Dubai exceed its target solar capacity, significantly increasing the region's share of renewable energy in the total energy mix of the country.
With these solar benefits, the annual solar power growth in the country is continuously improving and is expected to gain more potential in the solar energy industry. Last 2020, the solar energy market of UAE obtained a 2.35% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) but is expected to hit more than 15% CAGR between 2020-2025 periods.
Whilst, the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 set the targets of solar power by 7% in 2020, and 25% by 2030. Also, the Shams Dubai solar program implemented by the Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA) in early 2015 still continues its advocacy.
Shams Dubai achieved a 125 MW of installed capacity in residential, commercial and industrial buildings in 2019. Floating PV DEWA has issued an RFP appointing consultants to study, develop and construct floating solar PV plants in the Arabian Gulf.
Currently, Abu Dhabi has installed a solar capacity of 1.3 GW. The major capacity shares of the total capacity come from the Noor Abu Dhabi (Sweihan) project with 1.17 GW capacity, whereas, the Shams solar CSP project gives its fair share of 100 MW. In addition, the Abu Dhabi virtual battery also contributed 108 MW to the region's solar capacity.
