UAE - Mubasher: Mubadala Investment Company’s subsidiary Sanad Powertech has won a contract for the maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations of the steam engine and power generator of Shams Power Company.
The project is a joint venture between Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) and Sanad Powertech, the Emirates News Agency reported on Saturday.
Shams Power’s project is situated on 2.5 square kilometres and has a capacity of 100 megawatts.
"Sanad Powertech’s ability to provide competitive and high-quality services to an important future sector, such as clean energy, is a key advantage of this new contract,” CEO of aerospace, renewables, and information communications technology at Mubadala, Khaled Al Qubaisi, commented.
Moreover, the solar field project is equipped with a matrix of 768 parabolic trough collectors and generates clean and renewable electricity from solar heat rather than light.
