Key trend: As of end-September 2020, as many as 13 small-scale units were in various stages of development and implementation across Majan’s licence
A growing number of small scale solar photovoltaic (PV) based renewable energy plants are currently in operation in the jurisdiction of Majan Electricity Company (MJEC), helping not only offset their dependence on gas-based electricity but also export surplus clean energy back into the grid.
Volumes generated from solar-based capacity are currently minuscule in comparison with the total demand for conventional gas-based supply across Majan’s licence, but they point to a heartening trend that authorities hope will burgeon in the coming years.
Commenting on the solar PV trend in its licence, Majan Electricity said: “The Authority for Public Services Regulation (APSR) developed a new regulatory framework for small-scale grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) or solar power systems commencing in May 2017.
