Shams Solar Power Station (Arabic: شمس, lit. 'Sun') is a concentrating solar power station near Madinat Zayed, Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates. The solar power station is located approximately 120 kilometres (75 mi) southwest of Abu Dhabi and 6 kilometres (4 mi) from Madinat Zayed on the road from Tarif to the Liwa Oasis.[3]
The Shams station is planned to eventually include 3 plants: Shams 1 became operational on 17 March 2013.[1][4] Using parabolic trough technology with a capacity of 100 megawatts (MW), Shams 1 was the largest concentrated solar power (CSP) facility in the world when it opened.[5][6] Shams 1 will be followed by the Shams 2 and Shams 3 power plants.[1][7] The website Shamspower describes the impact and sustainability factors of the solar power plant.
