Qatar, Doha: Hitachi Energy announced it has delivered its grid connection solution for Qatar’s Al Kharsaah solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant.
This is one of the world’s largest and the country’s first utility-scale solar PV park, 80 km west of Doha, which was inaugurated on the occasion by His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Amir of the State of Qatar.
Al Kharsaah has a generating capacity of around 800 megawatts. It will avoid 26 MT of carbon dioxide emissions during its operating life and help Qatar progress towards its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent by 2030.
Hitachi Energy has provided an engineered package that collects all the power generated by the plant’s 1.8 million solar modules and transfers it into the national transmission system safely and reliably.
“We are delighted to have made such a significant contribution to this milestone in Qatar’s journey towards an energy system that is more sustainable, flexible and secure,” said Niklas Persson, Managing Director of Hitachi Energy’s Grid Integration business. “Our expertise and long track record of supplying grid integration solutions in Qatar and the Middle East make us a partner of choice for large-scale renewable energy projects like Al Kharsaah.”
