QatarEnergy has signed an agreement with the engineering and construction division of Samsung C&T to develop a large-scale solar power plant in Dukhan, west of Doha.

The project will be implemented in two phases, reaching a total capacity of 2,000 MW by mid-2029. Once completed, the plant will double Qatar’s solar power generation capacity and significantly contribute to the country’s renewable energy goals.

Eng. Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, Qatar’s Minister of State for Energy Affairs, President and CEO of QatarEnergy, described the agreement as a key milestone in balancing economic growth with environmental protection, noting that it supports QatarEnergy’s sustainability strategy to generate over 4,000 MW of renewable energy by 2030.
