WEC and Masdar Sign Patronship Agreement to Address Global Sustainable Energy Access

The World Energy Council (WEC) and Masdar have signed a Patronship Agreement, announced on the sidelines of COP21 in Paris. The WEC is a global multi-energy non-profit organisation that promotes the sustainable supply and use of energy and has an exclusive Patronship programme with 50 of the world’s leading energy companies. Patronship companies are members of the Council who commit to engage with WEC on global issues and projects. The agreement was signed by Masdar CEO, Dr Ahmad Belhoul and Marie-Jose Nadeau, Chair of the WEC.

Lighting up Australian Antarctic station with solar

Masdar, the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, and the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) have successfully installed the first solar panel system at an Australian Antarctic station, it was announced today. The solar installation will provide up to 30 kW of electric power to the Casey research station, located on Vincennes Bay in the Windmill Islands, just outside the Antarctic Circle, during the Austral summer months. The aim of the project, which is the first solar array providing power to an Australian Antarctic research station, is to reduce the reliance on diesel fuel, which is delivered yearly by the AAD’s Antarctic icebreaker, the Aurora Australis, from Hobart, Tasmania – a journey of 3,443km.

Masdar And Terna Energy

Renewables

We are active in solar, wind, waste-to-energy, geothermal, energy storage and green hydrogen projects across the world with a generation capacity of over 20 gigawatts, equivalent to displacing 30 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.

Floating Photovoltaic Solar Power

Locating solar power plants on water is an innovative alternative for countries seeking to harness the power of the sun.

Concentrated Solar Power

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems are considered a promising technology for large-scale power generation. Masdar has invested in and developed several different types of CSP projects.

Waste-to-Energy

With the development of waste-to-energy projects, Masdar is helping to tackle the issue of waste management.

Pertamina Geothermal Energy

Masdar entered the geothermal market in February 2023 by investing in one of the world’s largest geothermal players, Pertamina Geothermal Energy. The geothermal plants generate 4.8TWh geothermal energy with 3,915,000 tons of carbnon dioxide avoided each year.

DBS Dogger Bank South

Located 32 kilometres off the coast of North Norfolk, in East Anglia, Dudgeon is one of Masdar’s current investments in the UK’s renewable energy sector.

Project Chereh

In December 2025, Masdar signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), Malaysia’s national utility, to develop the region’s largest floating solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant at the Chereh Dam in Pahang State, marking Masdar’s inaugural project in Malaysia.

Guzar

Masdar has entered into a Public Private Partnership Agreement to design, build and operate a 300MW solar photovoltaic power plant and 75MWh capacity battery energy storage system in the Kashkadarya Region in the Republic of Uzbekistan. Financial close was reached during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2026.
