200 MW facility at Qatar by KAHRAMAA

An old news dated 04 December 2012 says “The Qatari government is aiming to generate 20% of its energy from renewables by 2030 and is aiming for 1,800 MW of renewable generation capacity by 2020”. "We will implement projects with a production capacity in the range of 150-200 MW over the next eight years at the corporation's stations and its lands," added Al Kuwari, according to the Peninsula report. It is believed the modules for the project will be supplied domestically with the Qatar Solar Technologies (QSTec) joint venture between Germany's Solar World AG, the Qatar Foundation charity and the Qatar Development Bank securing $1 billion in funding from Masraf Al Rayan in May for a polysilicon plant at Ras Laffan City that will produce 8,000 metric tonnes of poly a year – enough for 6.5 GW of panels. The present status of the PV projects will be shared soon in this blog. Read more: http://www.pv-magazine.com/news/details/beitrag/qatar--gulf-state-plans-200-mw-solar-project_100009463/#ixzz40tZqVRf2
