EWEC (Emirates Water and Electricity Company), the Abu Dhabi-based off-taker for water and power projects, announced that it plans to award the 1,500-megawatt-ac (MWac), Al Ajban Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Independent Power Project (IPP), located in the Abu Dhabi emirate, by the fourth quarter of 2023.
EWEC said it received four proposals for the development of Al Ajban Solar PV IPP, its third single-site solar power project under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model after the 1,200MW Noor Abu Dhabi and 2,000MW Al Dhafra Solar PV IPPs.
The proposals were received from Saudi’s ACWA Power, France’s EDF Renewables, Japan’s Marubeni Corporation, and a consortium consisting of China’s Jinko Power and Japan’s JERA, EWEC said in a press statement.
