The installed capacity of solar power generation in Qatar was recorded as 5.1MW, as of 2020, which is far from the required targets to have a considerable share of renewables in the energy mix. Thus umpteen solar PV projects are lined up to boost the capacity in the nation.
Since the launch of Al Kharsaah plant in 2022, with an initial capacity of 800 megawatts, Qatar rapidly enhanced its solar energy sector, doubling its capacity within just three years, which is a remarkable achievement in itself. Dr.
The addition of 875 megawatts from these two new solar plants, along with the 800 megawatts produced by the Al Kharsaah plant that came into service in 2022, will bring Qatar's total solar energy production capacity to nearly 1,700 megawatts.
The State of Qatar, a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is a country with high energy security due to the abundance of fossil fuel resources within its borders. However, its geographical location also avails the country of an abundance of solar radiation.
