First glimpse as Dubai’s hydroelectric plant in Hatta takes shape – The National

The flow of water will soon help power businesses and homes in the UAE with clean energy.

A huge hydroelectric power plant is under construction in the rugged Hajar Mountains, outside Dubai, that will utilise the turquoise waters of Hatta Dam.

The station is planned for completion towards the end of 2024 and will have a production capacity of 250 megawatts. One megawatt can typically power 500 to 1,000 homes for a year.
