The program prepares for and facilitate large-scale development of Ras Al Khaimah’s renewables resources, to supply and store low-cost and clean electricity for use in Ras Al Khaimah or the UAE.
The Municipality will lead studies and support discussions with federal entities to develop utility-scale renewables and storage in Ras Al Khaimah.
Studies have been conducted to review land availability for utility-scale solar projects to be deployed in the coming years. An ongoing wind resource assessment (in Ras Al Khaimah mountains) will help identify the potential of wind-based power as a complement to solar. Another ongoing assessment is of the potential for pumped hydro storage in the mountain areas of Ras Al Khaimah
In parallel, additional storage options and other more weather-agnostic/constant sources (geothermal) will be studied to address the intermittency of solar & wind.
