UAE’s Ducab to supply cable solutions to world’s largest solar power project

UAE’s largest industrial manufacturing business & solution provider, Ducab Group has been awarded the full EPC (engineering, procurement & contracting) contract to supply and install 400 kV cables and accessories to link Al Dhafra, the world’s largest solar plant in Abu Dhabi, with the Emirate’s main TRANSCO transmission grid through its specialized division, Ducab HV.

The Group said that this collaborative project partnership also covers testing and commissioning to ensure the highest levels of excellence in electric transmission.

The Al Dhafra facility will deploy technologically advanced bifacial solar panels that deliver electricity at the highest efficiency levels by using both the front and back of panels. The facility will have a capacity of two gigawatts and supply power to Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC).

“When fully operational, Al Dhafra will be the world’s largest single-site solar power plant, mitigating 2.4 million tonnes of CO2 annually and using 3.5 million solar panels to generate enough electricity for approximately 160,000 homes across the UAE,” the company said.
