Dubai-Mubasher: Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) inaugurated a 1.5 megawatt direct current (MWdc) photovoltaic generation project at Jebel Ali Power Station (JAPS), WAM news agency reported.
Dewa installed 5,240 photovoltaic panels on the 23,000 square-meters of the roof of the water reservoir at M-Station to produce 1.5 MW by converting solar energy into electricity.
