a 755kWp solar PV system. A microgrid interconnects the two power sources and delivers power to end users. Because of its proximity to the sea, Enviromena's team of engineers designed a unique corrosion-resistant racking system using glass reinforced plastics instead of metal. The Al Jarnain hybrid plant produces 1,336MWh per year, and reduces the island's fuel demand by up to 50 percent. Most recently, Enviromena developed an innovative solar-diesel hybrid power plant in the island of Al Yassat for the Dubai Electricity and Water Agency (DEWA). The project interconnects the private island's current gen-sets with an 800 kWp PV system. Enviromena designed plant components with materials that can withstand the remote island's harsh, high salinity environment and ensure a 25-year life span. Enviromena customized a micro-grid control system to monitor instantaneous load demand and control the diesel generator operation based on the available solar PV power. Other projects completed by Enviromena include a building integrated photovoltaic rooftop installation on Shams Tower at Yas Marina Circuit and a dual purpose solar car park shade structure at Masdar City. Enviromena has the largest installed capacity of grid connected solar photovoltaic projects in the Middle East and North Africa with over 43 MWP across 36 projects in six countries, and an additional 28MWp currently under construction in Egypt, Jordan and Morocco. The company, along with partner TSK of Spain, constructed Jordan's largest solar plant to date, located in Quweira. The 103 MW solar power plant was officially inaugurated on April 28, 2018. Under a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Jordan's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, 50/50 joint venture partners Enviromena and TSK completed the construction in 18 months. The Quweira solar power plant was financed by the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, totaling AED550 million. Investors Enviromena has attracted a broad base of clean-tech venture capital investors such as Good Energies, zouk Ventures, New Energies Invest, Moez Kassam, and most recently the Masdar Cleantech Fund.[13] The company completed a series B round of fundraising in January 2010 wherein Masdar became the company's largest shareholder.
