It employs a 72-meter-high main wall and a 37-meter-high side dam. The upper reservoir is now fully filled in preparation for testing.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy harnessing the potential energy of water stored at an elevated location, the hydroelectric project converts water flow into kinetic energy as it moves through a 1.2-kilometer subterranean tunnel. This energy then powers turbines to generate electricity, which can be delivered to DEWA’s grid within 90 seconds to satisfy peak demand.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe project operates with an energy turnaround efficiency of 78.9%, which makes it a highly effective solution for energy storage.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe project will also use clean energy produced at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park to pump water back to the upper dam, completing the energy cycle.
