One desert, four million panels.

In Abu Dhabi, Masdar and EWEC built Al Dhafra - two gigawatts of solar from more than four million panels on a single site, the largest of its kind in the world.

The scale is the point: the Gulf is building generation at industrial size.

Al Dhafra is the Global South powering itself at scale.
