BBC News - Masdar: Abu Dhabi's carbon-neutral city
一個來自油國故鄉 阿布達比 的再生能源城市計畫 - Masdar City, 此計畫的負責單位是阿布扎比未來能源公司（ADFEC）
Masdar是一個占地約六平方公里的零碳城市, 整個城市的動力來源皆為可再生能源.
PV Power Plant計畫的總胃納量高達200MW以上, 在第一階段的10MW中的Panel廠商為First Solar與Suntech.
10MW有多大? 照目前PV Resource的ranking來看, 約為世界前一百大. 目前全球最大的PV Power Plant為西班牙Olmedilla的60MW.


在另一篇報導中看得出來除了找合作廠商之外, 也與相關廠商成立新的工廠與公司並行運作. 這或許是那些想進入太陽能產業的國家, 一種快速取得技術的手段, 不過如果能取得長期獲利的股東成員 也不失為一種business model.

在此篇報導中也有幾位網友提到第一個棘手的問題, 如何對抗沙塵暴呢? 如果參與建廠的廠商須負責電廠養護 可能要準備好一定的成本來維護其運作.
First Solar and Suntech Power to Build Solar Farm in Abu Dhabi
Masdar has teamed up with solar companies to build solar and wind power plants in Europe (see Masdar Heats Up Concentrating Solar and Masdar Bets on Massive Offshore Wind Park). It also is building a factory to produce solar panels (see Masdar Breaks Ground on $230M Solar Factory).

The 10-megawatt solar farm is being erected in the sand, and it's scheduled to be completed and hooked to the electric grid in March this year, said Khalid Ballaith, a project manager with Masdar. The solar farm is costing about 185 million dirhams ($50 million) to build, said Sander Trestain, a project manager at Environmena, the generator contractor for the $22 billion Masdar City build out.

Madsar is planning on building 240 megawatts worth of power plants overall for the city, Awad said.

It's really an ambitious project.
