Masdar announces partners for solar PV and BESS project
Infrastructure Masdar announces partners for solar PV and BESS project By The firm has said Jinko Solar and JA Solar are preferred suppliers for solar photovoltaic (PV) modules and CATL is the preferred supplier for the BESS Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) has announced the preferred suppliers and contractors to support the development of the world's first large-scale 'round the clock' gigascale project, which will combine solar photovoltaic (PV) power and battery storage to deliver uninterrupted renewable energy. JA Solar and Jinko Solar, two of the PV module suppliers, and CATL, the battery manufacturer and a battery energy storage system (BESS) supplier, are preferred suppliers for the project. Larsen & Toubro and POWERCHINA have been selected as preferred Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractors for the project. Abdulaziz Alobaidli, Chief Operating Officer, Masdar, said: 'The record-breaking project we are developing with EWEC is a giant step forward in the clean energy transformation, overcoming the intermittency challenges of renewables and enabling the dispatch of clean energy 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As Masdar's largest and most ambitious project to date, we made sure we are working with the best possible partners that will deliver to the highest standards. I look forward to working with these preferred suppliers in setting a new global benchmark in clean energy innovation.' Jinko Solar and JA Solar are preferred suppliers for PV modules amounting to 2.6GW capacity each, with both companies utilising the latest TopCon technology with optimised parameters for maximum efficiency and production for 30 years. CATL would supply its TENER technology for the total capacity of 19GWh, which features all-round safety, a long service life, and a high level of integration, ensuring the reliable, stable operation and efficiency of the entire project lifetime. The solar PV and BESS facility will provide stability and efficiency by overcoming the intermittency of renewable energy. The 19GWh battery storage facility will enable seamless integration of solar power into the grid. This initiative also supports the UAE Energy Strategy 2050, and the facility will play a transformative role in energy systems, ensuring the UAE continues to lead by example in delivering towards the historic UAE Consensus agreed at COP28.
