Tadweer opens phase 2 of solar power plant at Al Dhafra

The Abu Dhabi Waste Management Center (Tadweer) announced the opening of the second phase of the solar power plant project at the Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling Facility in Al Dhafra region of Abu Dhabi.  

Aimed at lowering the facility's carbon footprint, Al Dhafra C&D Waste Recycling Facility, the first of its kind in the world to be 90% solar-powered, is aligned with the country's ambitious plans to mitigate climate change including the UAE Green Agenda Programs (2015-2030) and the National Climate Change Plan of the UAE (2017-2050).

With completion of the second phase, Tadweer, in close coordination with the investor of Al Dhafra C&D Waste Recycling Facility, has significantly enhanced the facility's solar energy utilization by increasing its capacity to 600 KW per hour, up by 350 KW per hour.
