The world’s largest CSP complex will be the 700 MW solar project at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, about 95% complete as of 2023. The 100 MW tower CSP segment came online in 2023, and the three trough segments totaling 600 MW are expected in early 2024 for a total of 700 MW.
The NOOR CSP project was commissioned by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), the UAE’s largest electric utility. The 700 MW combines both central tower and parabolic trough concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies, like the 550 MW NOOR I, II, and III in Morocco (Noor means “light” in Arabic). The NOOR I tower segment that came online in 2023 is 100 MW. The three trough segments are 200 MW each.
The thermal energy storage totals 15 hours daily. In this near-GW-scale energy project, even the molten salt melt to supply 26 thermal energy storage tanks is a massive undertaking.
The developer, ACWA Power, broke a CSP price record on this project at 7.30 cents per kWh without a subsidy. At this price, it is competitive with fossil-fueled electricity in Dubai, though the UAE is the 10th largest oil producer in the world.
DEWA actively sought out CSP to deliver renewable energy reliably through the night for the city of Dubai to meet the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050. The international consortium included ACWA Power, BrightSource, Worley, Shanghai Electric, Shanghai Lanbin, and AGC Glass.
Solar fuels are made using thermochemistry driven by direct heat from the sun In this process, solar thermal energy provides the heat for thermochemical reactions to produce new compounds such as green hydrogen or sustainable aviation fuel. Highly concentrated solar...

Acquiring a stake in the California 128 MW Big Beau solar-plus-storage facility is the first step the company''s partnership with EDF Renewables on a 1.6 GW portfolio of clean energy projects.
Masdar, a clean energy company based in Abu Dabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) is expanding its presence in the United States'' renewables market after closing the acquisition of a 50% stake in a combined solar and battery storage project from EDF Renewables North America. The acquisition was a long time in process, as first close was announced more than two years ago.
The Big Beau project, located in Kern County, California, achieved commercial operation in 2021. The facility comprises a 128 MWac solar plant and a 40 MW/160 MWh battery energy storage system. At full capacity the plant generates enough electricity to meet the consumption needs of up to 64,000 average California homes, or the equivalent to avoiding the greenhouse gas emissions from 67,000 passenger vehicles driven over the course of one year.
Masdar and EDF Renewables North America agreed in 2020 to jointly partner on the 1.6 GW portfolio, which includes three utility-scale wind projects in Nebraska and Texas totalling 815 MW, and five solar projects in California totalling 689 MW, two of which include battery energy storage systems representing 75 MW. All of the projects are operational, and combined they are displacing more than 3 million tons of emissions per year.
Masdar is active in more than 40 countries and invested in projects with a combined capacity of more than 20 GW, and is targeting a combined portfolio capacity of at least 100 GW by 2030, with expectations of doubling that in coming years. The company recently announced a new shareholding structure and additional focus on green hydrogen, and has set a goal of producing 1 million tons of green hydrogen annually by 2030.
EDF Renewables'' North American portfolio consists of 16 GW of developed projects and 13 GW under service contracts. EDF Renewables North America is a subsidiary of EDF Renewables, the renewable energy affiliate of the EDF Group.
