France is aiming to increase its solar PV capacity from 11.5 GW in March 2021 to 23 GW by the end of 2023. The country offers for small-scale solar PV up to 100 kWp on rooftops for self-consumption, with a specific grid tariff for collective users and exemption from the domestic tax on electricity for projects under 1 MW. However, a proposal to reduce solar PV subsidies for ongoing projects until 2030 has created controversy, affecting the sector's growth.

[pdf] The photovoltaic IPP was initially proposed to be a 350MW project but the capacity was increased to 1,177MW due to the availability of additional land. It is located on a 780ha site in the eastern part of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, approximately 120km from the city of Abu Dhabi. The solar powerproject features high-efficiency. .
Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Company (ADWEC) will offtake the entire power generated at the IPP, under a 25-year power purchase agreement signed with Marubeni and JinkoSolar in March 2017. .
The project was financed through a combination of debt and equity. A financing agreement was signed between ADWEA, Sweihan Solar. .
Sterling and Wilson, a company based in India, was selected by Sweihan Solar as the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC).
