This project is the first of its kind in Qatar to integrate 500 kiloWatt-hours (kWh) of energy storage with the electricity grid, solar power and back-up diesel generators, providing both on-grid and off-grid operation with black start, Voltage (VAR) and Frequency regulation.
It is owned by Siraj Energy, Marubeni and Total. It is under the build, own, operate and transfer (BOOT) model for a period of 25 years. The licence to own and operate the project will expire after the 25-year term and the power plant’s ownership will be transferred to Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation Kahramaa.
The BYD containerized Energy Storage System is rated at 250 kW (300 KVa) and 500 KWh with nominal output voltage of 415 VAC at a frequency of 50Hz and is outfitted with environmental controls, inverters and transformers, all self-contained, in a 40 foot shipping container to provide stable power supply.
The power plant can supply 10% of the country’s peak energy consumption and help to avoid 26 million tonnes of carbon emissions over its operational life. It also reduces the reliance on gas for power generation, diversifying Qatar’s power sources. Total and Marubeni won the solar project through a competitive tender process.

The solar power plant was developed in the Al-Kharsaah area on a 10km² of land, located 80km west of Doha, Qatar. The plant uses 1.8 million bifacial solar modules with trackers, which benefit from the high level of sunlight available in the area.
