Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) announced that the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park has reached an installed capacity of 3,860 MW, with 800 MW added in 2025 from its ongoing sixth phase, developed by Masdar.

The solar park, which combines photovoltaic and CSP technologies, is set to reach 7.26 GW by 2030. Its development began in 2013 with 13 MW, followed by phased expansions including 200 MW in 2017, 800 MW in 2020, and major additions in 2023 totaling 1,850 MW.

In February 2025, DEWA launched a tender process for the seventh phase, targeting up to 2 GW of additional capacity as part of the project's continued growth.

It is understood that the National Energy Administration has officially approved the power source allocation plan for the "Qaidam Desert Base (East Golmud) Base". The planned construction scale of the power source projects at this base is 17.44 million kilowatts, including 10 million kilowatts of photovoltaic power, 5 million kilowatts of wind power, 2.64 million kilowatts of coal-fired power, 0.1 million kilowatts of solar thermal power, and 1.5 million kilowatts (for 4 hours) of electrochemical energy storage. The total investment in the projects is about 86 billion yuan. The new energy will be transmitted to Guangxi through the "Qinghai-Guangxi DC" UHV power transmission project. Currently, significant progress has been made in the preliminary work of the "Qinghai-Guangxi DC" project, w

[SMM PV News] Armenia Hits 1.1 GW Solar Capacity,
Armenia’s cumulative solar capacity has surged to 1.1 GW following the addition of approximately 615 MW in 2025. This rapid expansion has pushed solar's share of electricity generation to around 15%, effectively meeting the country's 2030 target years ahead of schedule. The growth is heavily driven by a net-metering scheme supporting over 50,000 autonomous producers (totaling 650 MW), though the government ended loan subsidies for rooftop solar in July to shift focus toward battery storage.
