Hitachi Energy helps Qatar transition towards a more sustainable energy future

Press Release. Hitachi Energy announced it has delivered its grid connection solution for Qatar’s Al Kharsaah solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant – one of the world’s largest and the country’s first utility-scale solar PV park, 80 kilometers west of Doha – which was inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Amir of the State of Qatar.

Al Kharsaah has a generating capacity of around 800 megawatts. It will avoid 26 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions during its operating life and help Qatar progress towards its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent by 2030.

Leveraging its strong regional footprint and expertise in project design and execution, Hitachi Energy has provided an engineered package that collects all the power generated by the plant’s 1.8 million solar modules and transfers it into the national transmission system safely and reliably.
