Al Kharsaah: A Pioneering Solar Power Plant in
The Al Kharsaah solar power plant can supply 10% of Qatar''s peak power consumption, thereby contributing to the country''s sustainability roadmap.
Qatar boasts the ideal conditions for developing solar energy with its exceptional sunshine and vast unoccupied spaces. This is where the Al Kharsaah solar power plant, developed by TotalEnergies and its partners QatarEnergy and Marubeni, was inaugurated in October 2022.
of Qatar's peak electricity demand covered by Al Kharsaah. Located 80 km west of Qatar's capital, Doha, the Al Kharsaah Solar PV Independent Power Producer (IPP) project is the country's first large-scale solar power plant and is set to significantly reduce its environmental footprint.
The start-up of the Al Kharsaah solar power plant represents a milestone in the country's energy history, since it is set to produce 10% of its peak electricity demand at full capacity. Over its lifespan, it will also enable Qatar to reduce its CO 2 emissions by 26 million metric tons.
The Al Kharsaah solar power plant was built in two phases of 400 megawatts-peak (MWp) each, and therefore has a full capacity of 800 MWp. During its first year of operation, it is expected to generate almost two million megawatt-hours (MWh), the equivalent energy consumption of approximately 55,000 Qatari households.
