Al-Kharsaa, a first solar power plant project in Qatar developed by TotalEnergies and Marubeni, has been connected to the grid.
A turning point in Qatar
Al-Kharsaa is the first solar power plant in Qatar. The project covers an area of 10 square kilometers and has a capacity of 800MW. The solar power plant is the work of a consortium comprising TotalEnergies and Marubeni.
The Al-Kharsaa solar power plant integrates LONGi Hi-MO series bifacial modules and a tracking system. It is part of Qatar’s “National Vision 2030”. In addition, the project is expected to provide 1.8 billion kWh of clean energy per year.
The solar power plant project should cover the electricity consumption of some 300,000 households. Thus, it will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 900,000 tons. Jia Chao, President of the MEA region and LONGi’s CA, states:
“We are honored to help Qatar develop this historic project and fully support the country’s commitment to carbon neutrality.”
A large-scale project
LONGi’s objective is to provide solutions for photovoltaic power plants that respect the environment and save resources. Thus, the objective of contributing to the coordinated development of the economy and the environment. In addition to the Middle East, the company is present worldwide.
LONGi ships over 100GW of high efficiency modules worldwide. In addition, the company is striving to achieve the “Zero Carbon Planet” goal with higher value products. Founded in 2000, LONGi is committed to being the world’s leading solar technology company.
LONGi is dedicated to technological innovation and has established five business areas. The company covers wafer cells and modules and commercial distributed solar solutions. Finally, the company recently adopted renewable hydrogen products and solutions.
