QEWC general manager Fahad Hamad Al Mohannadi commented: “The interest in alternative energy sources and solar energy in Qatar is present and growing. The development and advancement of solar cell technology and the related industry should be the cornerstone for the future strategy on alternative energy resources. Over the past several years the region has seen a number of pioneering and strategic efforts to diversify energy resources and develop projects that rely on renewable energy. These are all efforts to help conserve traditional energy resources. Together with QEWC’s experience in power generation and water desalination and Qatar Solar Technologies’ efforts in research and development, we will help develop an appropriate framework which addresses the development and effective use of this promising technology in the region.”
