Where is the first large scale photovoltaic plant in Qatar?

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.

How much electricity will Egypt generate from a 3 MW solar plant?

The electricity generated from the 3 MW solar plant will be sold to the of-taker at a fixed price for a period of 20 years under a PPA. With the electricity demand reaching up to 27.6 GW in 2019 and a forecast, by Frost and Sullivan, of 67 GW in 2030, Egypt is in need of substantial additional power capacity.
