Core tip: according to Forbes magazine's online edition, due to environmental concerns, the coal has been not how unloved, but at least it is considered to be one of the most cheap energy alternatives. Now, however, the status of coal also has been challenged. According to dubai on June 27, announced that the city will build a huge 800 megawatts of solar power plant, the cost will be only 2.99 cents/KWH, far lower than the price of coal-fired power plants.

According to Forbes magazine online reported, due to environmental concerns, the coal has been not how unloved, but at least it is considered to be one of the most cheap energy alternatives. Now, however, the status of coal also has been challenged. According to dubai on June 27, announced that the city will build a huge 800 megawatts of solar power plant, the cost will be only 2.99 cents/KWH, far lower than the price of coal-fired power plants.

Is understood to ABU dhabi horse starr's future energy company consortium headed by the shearing section.at low price is the lowest price in the global solar power plant, and the price is not any obvious benefit from subsidies. Bloomberg reported that the price is a Saudi company 18 months ago quotation for lower by 50%. When the Saudi Arabia company offer is already a record low, but in the end or in front of a lower price in the shade.

This is less than the price of 3 cents/KWH, dubai is currently building a coal-fired power plant power generation costs low by a third. And just announced a solar power plant, the coal is expected to begin operations in 2020.

At present, the falling price of solar power generation industry is changing. For many countries, coal is usually large power stations of the cheapest option. Hydropower station lower prices, but not everywhere can be built, especially in the flat, dry climate in dubai. The coal industry often benefit from subsidies, according to the international monetary fund, said the biggest subsidies are pollution from coal industry does not need to pay for health costs. The coal industry does not pay a carbon tax, it is also the largest single culprit of global carbon emissions increase.

If the coal loss cost advantage, it will soon lose its single biggest source of global energy production status. In the global solar panel manufacturing industry, dominant manufacturers in China, the company constantly progress in terms of photovoltaic power generation efficiency. China's market competition is very cruel, so there is no reason to believe that the innovation of the Chinese manufacturers pace will slow.

Dubai's project based on the traditional photovoltaic technology; And if you are using a newer, more complex of the so-called "concentrated solar technology, the scale of public utilities project seems to be also cheaper. "Concentrated solar technology USES" huge mirrors to collect the heat of the sun, then water or molten salt heating, electricity generation by using the steam engine. This steam engine to generate electricity by heating water drive process, with the traditional coal or nuclear power plants in power generation process is very similar.

Photovoltaic panels directly convert sunlight into electricity. Dubai's project, according to the photovoltaic panel has great potential.

This project contains Mohammed dubai? Ben? Rashid? O's solar park in the third stage, is also in dubai to become the world's "carbon footprint" the lowest part of the goal of the city. The winning of the electricity generation project is masdar future a consortium led by energy companies. Masdar is ABU dhabi government all company. Other partners include Spanish company Fotowatio Renewable Ventures and Gransolar group. Power purchase agreement is expected to be signed in the fourth quarter of this year. The project is based on "independent power generation companies" model, so it will be built in accordance with the commercial projects.

Dubai is committed to become the target of urban lowest global carbon emissions, is to reduce the united Arab emirates (uae) for oil and gas economy relies on key part of the plan. According to the plan, by 2030, Mohammed? Ben? Rashid? O's solar park will have a total of 5000 megawatts of solar energy projects, the total investment of 50 billion dirhams. In early June, the solar park in a concentrated solar power plant phase I project started, the capacity up to 1000 megawatts of solar power plant.

Dubai aggressively developing clean energy, but also with the city and the neighboring ABU dhabi did not related to the massive fossil energy reserves. In 2050, according to dubai's clean energy strategy, by 2030, dubai will amount to 25% of the proportion of clean energy sources, to 75% in 2050. New project, according to dubai this ambitious goal is going very well.
