Following completion, the solar plants will supply power to facilities in the industrial complex owned by QatarEnergy and Qatar’s national electrical grid.

Recently, the Samsung C&T E&C finished building a 60MW power plant and an energy storage system in Mangilao, Guam.

Besides solar power plants, Samsung C&T E&C is bolstering its portfolio of eco-friendly businesses such as green hydrogen, ammonia, and small modular reactors (SMRs).
