The Guinness World Records accepted this power plant as the world’s largest single-site natural gas power generation facility in 2021. The complex can produce 9,547MW of electricity. Al Tayer was presented with the certificate by officials of Guinness World Records at the 24th WETEX, which was organised by DEWA, and the Dubai Solar Show 2022.
Reverse osmosis technology, which makes use of less energy than MSF plants, is used by DEWA to desalinate seawater. Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) stores excess desalinated water in subterranean basins. These three pillars help DEWA sustain its water production.
