6 FAQs about [Energy storage for solar power Qatar]

What is Qatar doing with solar power?

In 2022 Qatar’s first solar power project came online, supplying the country with 7.5% of its electricity needs, with two more solar projects scheduled for completion in 2025. These will bring Qatar closer to its target of 20% renewable energy by 2030 and form the foundation of its national sustainability initiative.

Why should Qatar invest in a solar power plant?

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.

How much energy does Qatar produce?

The International Renewable Energy Agency stated that Qatar’s total domestic energy supply in 2020 consisted of 91% gas and 9% oil, with only 0.02% of the country’s energy produced from renewable sources.

Can solar energy boost Qatar's natural gas exports?

Moreover, as Qatar looks to increase its natural gas exports in the future, given the increasing global demand for this cleaner-burning fuel, investments in solar energy to meet domestic demands can free up more natural gas for export.

Who owns Qatar power plant?

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.

How can Qatar achieve a low-carbon energy future?

Qatari policymakers must balance domestic energy needs with the economic imperative to maximise hydrocarbon exports. We have modelled the optimal evolution of Qatar’s electricity system over the next few decades, with the goal of quantifying the potential for solar energy (and other low-carbon technologies) in the grid.
