UAE commissions world's first 100 MW CSP plant

摘要

A consortium led by the UAE's Masdar launched in March the world's largest operating Concentrated Solar Power plant, the 100 MW Shams 1 project in the western region of Abu Dhabi emirate. The $600 million development, which took three years to build, will provide electricity to an estimated 20,000 UAE homes while eliminating 175,000 mt/year of carbon dioxide emissions from hydrocarbon-fueled power generation, the Shams Power joint venture said.
