A February 11 release reports DABS and Azizi Energy signing implementation-start contracts for five projects targeting 845 MW: 330 MW solar and 515 MW coal-fired capacity.
Approximately USD 463 million investment is planned. Announced completion targets are two years for solar and three for coal. Capacities represent planned generation rather than an existing operating fleet.
In an IEA scenario, electricity could cost-effectively supply 33 percent of final energy use by 2035; projected import savings are not realized outcomes.
The utility’s long-term plan projects lower emissions despite rising electricity demand; its solar, battery and reverse-osmosis targets are not completed outcomes.
