This power plant will eventually replace existing conventional gas-fired power plants, the Khaleej Times reported. The plant has the capacity to reduce Co2 emissions of Abu Dhabi by 1 million tonnes. This means that it can make an environmental impact equivalent to taking 200K cars off the roads. UAE is aiming to meet 44% of its energy needs through clean energy by 2050. Also, Abu Dhabi announced the construction of yet another plant bigger than this one in July, last year.
