Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has invited bids for advisory services to develop a 1,600 MW solar photovoltaic plant integrated with a 1,000 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
The BESS will deliver six hours of energy storage capacity.
The tender was issued on November 14, with submissions due by December 17, 2024, at 11:00 AM.
This project aligns with DEWA’s broader initiatives, including a 250 MW pumped-storage plant in Hatta and energy storage within the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which combines PV and concentrated solar power technologies.
