MACC starts the 1.3 MWp solar PV plant for the Khan Younis Wastewater Treatment Plant

MACC has started work on a 1.3 MWp grid-connected solar PV plant for the Khan Younis Wastewater Treatment Plant in Al Fukhari, contracted by UNDP with European Union funding and synchronised with the plant's three diesel generators.

In April 2021 MACC started work on a 1.3 MWp grid-connected solar PV plant for the Khan Younis Wastewater Treatment Plant in Al Fukhari. The works include synchronisation of the PV system with the three diesel generators already installed at the plant, and surplus power will be sold to GEDCO.

The project (ITB-PAL-00000123905) is contracted by UNDP with European Union funding and supervised by EMCC. It is Phase 1 of a planned 7 MWp scheme to power the treatment works.

MACC's scope covers 2,610 monocrystalline 500 W modules on fixed-tilt steel structures, 11 string inverters of 110 kW, two 1,600 kVA transformers with 24 kV metal-clad switchgear, new transformer, administration and generator buildings, relocation of the three generators (1,825, 1,300 and 810 kVA) into the new building, a module cleaning network, a weather station and SCADA cabling.
