This program aims to promote and support deployment of distributed renewables, mainly rooftop and carport solar PV installations, in buildings and industries of Ras Al Khaimah.
Previous assessments of solar PV potential suggest that more than 600 MWp can be installed on rooftops in the long term. Actual installations will depend on building readiness, market development and favorability of federal regulation.
New buildings will continue to be addressed through mandates for solar readiness within Barjeel. The planned issuance of federal regulation for distributed renewables in 2024/25 will activate the market, with further regulations in 2026/27 expected to accelerate deployments. In addition to regulation, other market development and awareness enablers to promote adoption will be introduced by RAK Municipality.
In parallel, other renewables will be studied for future deployment where applicable.
