DEWA sets CSP world record at Dubai’s Mohammed bin Rashid Solar Park

Dubai's DEWA utility company has recently received a Guinness World Record for running the world's largest single-operator focused solar power (CSP) plant, a 700 MW facility. The award comes as part of the 950 MW fourth phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which is one of the largest renewable portfolio. This recent phase combines 600 MW of parabolic trough CSP, a 100 MW central tower CSP, and 250 MW of PV panels, showing diversified capture of solar energy. The same phase had already set records in the world's tallest CSP tower, at 263.126 meters, and the world's largest thermal energy storage, at 5,907 MWh, using molten salt with parabolic trough technology to efficiently manage energy.
