Ces trois centrales font partie de la phase IV du parc solaire MBR, où l’on construit également une centrale à sel fondu avec une capacité de stockage thermique de 13,5 heures.
Cette dernière usine de sel, ainsi que la phase IV du parc solaire MBR, sont développées par Noor Energy 1 PSC, une société détenue par DEWA (Dubai Water and Electricity Authority), ACWA Power et Silk Road Fund.
Abengoa consolide ainsi sa position de leader mondial dans la construction de centrales solaires thermiques, dans lesquelles elle dispose d’une capacité installée de 1,9 GW, soit 30% de la production mondiale.
L’entreprise renforce également sa position d’acteur de référence au Moyen-Orient.
Dans cette région, elle dispose d’un vaste portefeuille comprenant des projets récemment attribués tels que l’usine de dessalement par osmose inverse Jubail 3A en Arabie saoudite et l’usine de dessalement Tawelaah aux Émirats arabes unis.
Abengoa participe également à la construction de la plus grande usine hybride solaire-gaz du monde, Waad Al-Shamal, également en Arabie saoudite.
