This phase, which is expandable to 2,000MW, will use photovoltaic solar panels and a battery energy storage system with a capacity of 1,000MW for six hours, providing a total storage capacity of 6,000 megawatt-hours (MWh). This will make it one of the world\u2019s largest solar-plus-storage projects. The phase will be implemented under the independent power producer (IPP) model. DEWA has invited international developers or consortia to submit their expressions of interest by\u00a021 March 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The 7th phase is expected to produce 4.5 terawatt-hours of electricity annually, avoiding the burning of more than 36 billion cubic feet of natural gas. It will increase the solar park&#8217;s planned production capacity from 5,000MW to 7,260MW, raising the share of clean energy in Dubai\u2019s energy mix from 27% to 34% by 2030. As a result, the total reduction in carbon dioxide emissions will rise from 6.5 million tonnes to approximately 8 million tonnes annually, reinforcing Dubai\u2019s position as a global hub for sustainability and innovation in renewable energy. The 7th phase is scheduled to become operational in stages between 2027 and 2029.<\/p>\n<p>According to a DEWA study, battery energy storage systems are the most cost-effective solution for energy storage and land use. Beyond grid benefits, they enhance renewable energy stability and reliability. Integrating advanced solar PV with battery storage mitigates solar intermittency and sets a replicable model for sustainable power. The solar park\u2019s current production capacity stands at 3,460MW, with an additional 1,200MW under construction.<\/p>\n<p><u>Submission Details<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Expressions of interest should be addressed to Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, P.O.
