Located 80 km West of Doha, the Al Kharsaah plant is the first large scale photovoltaic plant in Qatar with 800 MWp installed solar capacity. The plant was constructed on a 1000-hectare terrain, equivalent to approximately 1400 football pitches, and integrates 2 million high-efficiency bifacial modules mounted on single-axis trackers.
Paris, Doha, 18 October 2022 – The Al Kharsaah solar power plant developped by TotalEnergies and its partners QatarEnergy, and Marubeni was inaugurated today by His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. The ceremony marked the completion of the construction works and the startup of the plant, which is now connected to the national grid.
The power plant can supply 10% of the country's peak energy consumption and help to avoid 26 million tonnes of carbon emissions over its operational life. It also reduces the reliance on gas for power generation, diversifying Qatar's power sources. Total and Marubeni won the solar project through a competitive tender process.
