Technical FAQs 4

Why is Qatar launching a solar power plant?

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.

Is Qatar a good place to develop solar energy?

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.

Is Al Kharsaah the last large-scale solar project in Qatar?

While Al Kharsaah is the first large-scale solar project in Qatar, it is by no means the last. The country has ambitious plans to expand its renewable energy portfolio in the coming years.

How much electricity does Qatar produce?

In its first year of operation, the plant is projected to generate around two million megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity, enough to power approximately 55,000 Qatari households. More significantly, once fully operational, the plant is expected to meet 10% of the country’s peak electricity demand.
