Shams 1- World's Biggest Solar Power Plant to Be Built in UAE

UAE recently announced about its plans to construct the biggest solar plant on the planet. The 100 MW plant is called Shams 1 and it will be located 120 kilometers southwest of Abu Dhabi.

The plant will be built by Masdar which teamed up with Total, an oil company based in France and Abengoa Solar, a solar company with headquarters in Spain.

Despite the fact that Shams 1 will be much smaller than another giant project entitled Desertec, initiated by Europe and North Africa, the UAE plant will start producing energy much earlier (the Desertec is expected to start producing energy in 2015).

Semi Conductor
  • The total semiconductor market (TM) revenues poised to grow from US$ 5.39 billion in 2009 to US$ 8.04 billion in 2011.  The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 22.1 per cent.
  • The corresponding period is expected to witness a phenomenal CAGR of 34.8 per cent in the total semi-conductor available market (TAM).  TAM revenues is anticipated to climb to US$ 4.84% billion in 2011 from US$ 2.66 in 2009.
  • IT/OA and wireless handsets segments lead the semi-conductor TM revenues while telecommunications and mobile handset segments lead the TAM revenues.
  • Increasing consumption and favourable government regulation propelling TAM revenues for consumer electronics products such as LCD TV and STB to grow in excess of 50 per cent.
  • Telecommunication infrastructure development related domestic semiconductor consumption to grow by a massive 132.5 per cent from 2009 to 2011.
