Dubai has inaugurated the world’s largest concentrated solar power project, says UAE, within the city’s Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.
“Our journey towards sustainability is comprehensive, encompassing advanced clean energy projects across diverse renewable sources and innovative solutions integrated into various spheres of the economy and society,” says Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
“The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is at the heart of Dubai and the UAE’s commitment to create a world-class infrastructure for sustainability and a robust foundation for building an environmentally friendly future.”
The 950 MW fourth phase covers an area of 44 square km. It uses three hybrid technologies: 600 MW from a parabolic basin complex, 100 MW from the CSP tower and 250 MW from photovoltaic solar panels.
The project uses the independent power producer model and features the tallest solar tower in the world, at 263.126 m, and the largest thermal energy storage capacity with a capacity of 5,907 MWh, according to Guinness World Records. Built at an investment of AED15.78 billion, the project also features 70,000 heliostats that track the sun’s movement, says UAE.
A consortium led by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and Saudi Arabia’s ACWA Power established Noor Energy 1 as a project company to design, build and operate the fourth phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. DEWA holds a 51% stake in the company, ACWA Power holds 25% and the Chinese Silk Road Fund owns 24%.

ICE agents have every reason to fear for their lives when protesters present this sort of nasty demeanor.
Here’s a beautiful piece of writing political commentator Rick Wilson the demolition of the East Wing of the White House.
Perhaps this is stupid question, but I need to ask it nonetheless: Does the president of the U.S. have the right to do something like this? I presume he doesn’t have a deed to the White House. As such, can he sell it? Build a Pizza Hut on the property?
How is this situation different than my walking across the street to the park, where I commence cutting down trees because they block my view of the mountains in the distance?
I would expect to be in handcuffs within a few minutes. Why? It’s not me property.
Here are a couple of remarks on Trump’s destroying the East Wing of the White House:
From Dan Rather
Witnessing any part of its demolition is a gut punch. Trump crossed an invisible line by destroying something that wasn’t his to destroy. You could say that about so much of what he has done, but the visual of seeing a bulldozer taking down part of this national treasure was a painful reminder of how he and his administration work every day at dismantling our democracy.
