QatarEnergy has signed an agreement with Samsung C&T's Engineering & Construction Group for the construction of a world-scale solar power plant in Dukhan, approximately 80 kilometers west of Doha. The Dukhan solar power plant—one of the largest in the world—will be developed in two phases, reaching a total electricity generation capacity of 2,000 megawatts (MW) by mid-2029. Once completed, it will double Qatar’s solar power production capacity, significantly contributing to the country’s renewable energy goals, according to Qatar News Agency (QNA). The Dukhan solar power plant will begin the first phase of production by dispatching 1,000 MW of power to the Kahramaa grid towards the end of 2028.
