800MW photovoltaic power station to help Qatar World Cup "carbon balance"
2022-10-20
Recently, Qatar 800MW ground power station with all components supplied by Longji was connected to the grid at full capacity, which means that the world's largest photovoltaic power station with tracking system + double-sided modules has been officially put into operation, which opens the curtain for the upcoming 2022 Qatar World Cup.
The Qatari Minister of Energy delivered a speech at a launch ceremony in the Qatari capital on October 18, attended by the king and other officials. He described the project as significant, with a capacity to meet more than 10% of Qatar's peak electricity demand, and praised the impact and demonstration of the project in Qatar and around the world. Longi was invited to attend the ceremony as a component supplier for the project.
The Khalsa 800.15MW Qatari solar power plant is the first solar power plant in Qatar. The project is located in Kharsaa region, Qatar, and all of it uses Longi Hi-MO 4 double-sided modules. The project is by far the world's third largest single photovoltaic power station, and the world's largest photovoltaic project using tracking system and double-sided modules. It is expected to provide about 1.8 billion KWH of clean electricity for Qatar every year, meet the annual electricity consumption of about 300,000 households, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 900,000 tons per year.
The project supports Qatar's commitment to hosting a carbon-neutral World Cup in the run-up to 2022.
The project has far-reaching implications for Qatar and the wider Middle East. After the interconnection, the project will provide competitive price to provide power for Qatar support, improve energy efficiency by the diversification of energy sources, can increase the proportion of renewable energy utilization, also conducive to national economic diversification development, is part of the "2030 national vision" of Qatar, have created a new energy photovoltaic power generation in the field of Qatar.
