Tallest solar power tower

What to remember

At Saih Al-Dahal, about 50 km south of Dubai, a solar power tower rises to 262 m. It belongs to the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park and dates from 2020.

The park covers 77 km². It combines photovoltaic solar farms with concentrating solar power, and its total planned capacity exceeds 4,000 MW. The first phase was commissioned on 22 October 2013, and by the end of 2020 the photovoltaic complex had reached 1.013 GW. The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, DEWA, carried out the project, one of the world's largest renewable schemes built on the independent power producer model.

At 860 feet, it is the tallest solar power tower.
