The agreement aims to supply Al Ghuwaifat charging station Solar energy This is done through a ground-based solar photovoltaic system with a capacity of 600 kilowatts, in addition to a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a capacity of 2.56 megawatts/hour. The system, upon completion, is expected to contribute to supplying the station with 85 percent of the energy needed to operate it.
