The Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA) has awarded an advisory contract to a KPMG-led consortium for the 200MW concentrated solar power (CSP) plant at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.
The independent power producer (IPP) advisory contract will produce guidelines for companies looking to bid for the project, with KPMG being responsible for the financial requirements of the deal, while UK-based Mott MacDonald and Ashurt will handle the technical and legal requirements, respectively, the utility said in a statement Wednesday.
DEWA had released a tender in May this year for CSP consultants to submit proposals for advisory services for the project, which will be operational by April 2021.
The CSP project lies within the AED 50 billion Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum solar park, set to be the largest single-site solar project in the world with a planned capacity of 5,000MW by 2030.
When completed, the park will reduce over 6.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually, the statement added.
