It started 18 years ago with the UAE leadership’s pioneering vision to diversify the economy and address global sustainability challenges

Today, Masdar is one of the world’s largest renewable energy companies, using innovation and partnership to drive the net-zero transition. With projects across 40 countries, Masdar is delivering more than 20 GW of renewable energy – enough to power over 5.25 million homes. Our global investment portfolio exceeds US$30 billion across six continents. In some cases, our projects are bringing continuous electricity to places where there was none.

Our founding CEO and current Chairman, HE Dr Sultan Al Jaber, a pioneer of clean energy, has been appointed as President-Designate of the UN climate change conference COP28 to be held in the UAE in 2023.

As the UAE’s flagship renewable energy company, Masdar helped to develop the Middle East’s first concentrated solar power plant in 2013 in Abu Dhabi. Over the past decade, the Shams solar power plant has displaced 1.75 million tonnes of carbon emissions, the equivalent of removing 150,000 cars from the streets or planting 15 million trees.

Since then, Masdar has developed life-changing renewable energy projects around the globe and achieved many world firsts. To view our full portfolio, clickhere.

Our work in the UAE and globally is testament to the country’s long-term commitment to decarbonization. The UAE was the first nation in the region to sign the Paris Agreement, and the first to set a strategic pathway to Net Zero by 2050.
