JinkoSolar has signed a strategic supply agreement for 2GW of its high-efficiency PV modules with global clean energy leader Masdar, under which it will supply its Tiger Neo series modules for RTC, the world’s first gigascale round-the-clock renewable energy project in Abu Dhabi.
The signing ceremony was attended by Masdar CEO Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi and his Jinko counterpart Charlie Cao, together with senior executives from both parties.
RTC is the world’s first gigascale renewable energy project, integrating solar power and battery energy storage. Jointly developed by Masdar and the Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC), the project integrates a 5.2GW solar photovoltaic (PV) plant with a 19 gigawatt-hour (GWh) battery energy storage system (BESS), the largest and most technologically advanced system of its kind in the world.
RTC reimagines the potential of renewable energy by overcoming intermittency and, once operational, the project will produce gigascale baseload energy at a globally competitive rate for the first time, setting a new international benchmark and reaffirming the UAE’s leading position in renewable energy development.
The signing of the agreement marks an important milestone for JinkoSolar’s development in the high-end Middle Eastern new energy market and the long-term strategic partnership with Masdar.
