The total capacity of the Steroh plant is 700 kilowatts, producing 500 kilowatts of solar energy and 200 kilowatts of generators.
It is noteworthy that the Sheikh Zayed plant for the Year of Tolerance, Nujed, consists of 2 generators, each generator capacity of 100 watts, with a total station capacity of 200 kilowatts.
