The Masdar project
Masdar is a company that’s trying to produce a clean energy. Masdar
is located in UAE near KSA. Wind farm cost US$200 million. The Gulf is not a
windy area, so they are improving specialized blades to generate energy. They
are trying to join two 100 megawatt solar plants
Shams 1 and Nour 1 to produce renewable energy to meet the AbuDhabi
Government’s 7% goal by 2020. The plant could produce 100mw. They will start
sending the power after 2 years. In
the GCC developing wind power is more difficult than solar due to the limited
number of windy days in the region. To install megawatt they have to pay $2m
for each one for total price of $200, and would be supported by the AD
government, along with banks and foreign partners.
