Masdar To Begin Sixth Phase Of Dubai’s Massive Solar Park
The project will add 1,800 megawatts of power, making Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park the largest single-site facility in the world.
With the United Arab Emirates setting an ambitious goal to generate 25% of its energy from renewables by 2030 and 100% by 2050, the government has awarded $1.5 billion to Masdar to build phase six of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.
“When completed, the solar park will reduce over 6.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually,” said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.
The total capacity of solar generation at the site has now reached 2,427 MW. With the latest phase adding another 1,800 megawatts, total production capacity will soon be boosted to 4,660 MW, making the park the largest single-site facility in the world.

Cyberdrone’s groundbreaking display marked 125 years of AC Milan football club and the 1st-year anniversary of Casa Milan Dubai.
Cyberdrone, a leading UAV display company based in Dubai, put on a breathtaking drone light show on Monday to honor two significant football milestones: AC Milan’s 125th anniversary and the one-year anniversary of Casa Milan Dubai.
The spectacle involved 1,000 drones working in perfect harmony to project AC Milan’s iconic imagery against the city’s night sky. Highlights included the UAVs synchronizing to form the club’s iconic crest, the signature red and black jersey, and a special emblem marking its 125th year. The intricate performance demanded meticulous planning, not just in terms of choreography, but also in dealing with the necessary permits and logistics.
“Our goal was to spotlight AC Milan’s legacy through a stunning visual narrative,” explained Mohamed Munjed Abdulla, Director of Sales at Cyberdrone. “We celebrated the club’s history, its Dubai milestone, and the universal love for football.
