This would be the new record price for global solar energy.
This offer would be $0.00021 / kWh lower than the 0.0156 of Total and Japanese Marubani. It comes from the 1.5 GW tender launched by Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) in July. (Editor's note: 2 GW is referred to above).
The selected consortium will own up to 40% of a company created for the project. The remaining 60% will be owned by Abu Dhabi Power Corporation and other government entities.
