September 01, 2025

The UAE has strengthened its role in driving the global transition to clean energy in 2025, spearheading a wide portfolio of solar energy projects financed and executed by national companies across multiple continents.

The UAE's solar initiatives extend across Asia, Africa, and Europe, reinforcing the country's leadership in reducing carbon emissions and tackling climate change.

At the start of this year, the UAE signed a tripartite partnership framework with Italy and Albania to develop large-scale renewable energy projects in Albania, focusing on solar photovoltaic, wind, and hybrid solutions, with part of the generated power to be exported to Italy.

Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) has accelerated its international expansion in 2025. Key milestones include: Spain: Acquisition of a 49.99% stake in four solar plants from Endesa photovoltaic plants with a total capacity of 446 MW, strengthening Masdar's presence in the Iberian Peninsula.

Indonesia: Masdar and PT PLN (Persero), Indonesia's state-owned electricity company, have signed two agreements to advance the development of floating solar power projects in Southeast Asia's largest energy market.
