The module procurement tenders of China's state-owned enterprises have always been a barometer, revealing the fierce competition within the industry over everything from module technology to pricing.
In October last year Astronergy was awarded the supply contract for the DEWA VI project in Dubai, a joint development between Masdar and DEWA (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority), under which it would supply 1,800 MW of its ASTRO N5 n-type TOPCon PV modules for the sixth phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum solar park, one of the largest single-site solar parks in the world. Once operational, the sixth phase project will increase the total power production capacity of the park to 4,660 MW.
