Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina) is completing engineering, procurement, and construction works on the 1.5-gigawatt Abu Dhabi PV3 Al Ajban solar project, according to Xinhua News Agency.

Covering approximately 20 square kilometers in northeastern Abu Dhabi, the development marks PowerChina's first utility-scale solar farm in the emirate. Huadong Engineering Corporation Limited deployed automated Chinese-made photovoltaic installation robots to assemble the solar arrays.

Once operational, the plant is projected to generate 4.4 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, sufficient to power around 160,000 households. The project is also expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by roughly 2.4 million tonnes per year in support of the UAE's net-zero 2050 targets.
