Masdar-EDF JV switches on 2 solar projects on Yas Island

The two projects have a total capacity of 1.52 MWp.

Emerge, a joint venture of Masdar and EDF Group, started the operations of two high-profile solar projects on Yas Island.

In a statement, Masdar said one of the projects includes the one-megawatt-peak slar car park at Ethara’s Yas Marina Circuit which houses the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The plant is capable of meeting around 30% of the circuit’s demand which is equivalent to nearly 200 households. It will also reduce 900 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions yearly.

Emerge also power the 520 kilowatt-peak Yas Bay Waterfront development for Midal which could power 100 Abu Dhabi households and cut around 425 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year.

The project has over 900 solar modules installed.
