Samsung C&T has secured a contract worth KRW 1.46 trillion for Qatar's largest solar power project.

Samsung C&T announced on the 17th that it received a notification of award for the solar power project from QatarEnergy, the state-owned energy company of Qatar, and held a signing ceremony with QatarEnergy. Samsung C&T will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of the project and plans to carry out the entire process independently from design to construction.

This project involves the construction of a solar power plant with a total capacity of 2,000 MW (megawatts) in the Dukhan area, located 80 km west of Doha, the capital of Qatar, by 2030. The power capacity is estimated to supply electricity to 750,000 homes in Qatar. The site covers an area of 27 km², which is nine times the size of Yeouido, and will utilize 2.74 million solar panels. Samsung C&T stated that this is the largest solar power project in Qatar and the largest capacity solar power project ever undertaken by a Korean construction company.

Following the successful completion of an 875 MW solar power project in the Ras Laffan and Mesaieed regions of Qatar, Samsung C&T has now secured the Dukhan project, thereby undertaking approximately 80% of Qatar's total solar power capacity independently. A representative from Samsung C&T stated, "We are leading the renewable energy EPC sector based on the trust built through numerous projects carried out in Qatar."
