Abu Dhabi-based renewable energy company Masdar has reached a major milestone by achieving 65 gigawatts (GW) of global clean energy capacity, reinforcing its position as one of the world’s leading players in the renewable energy sector. The achievement reflects Masdar’s rapid expansion across solar, wind, and other sustainable energy projects spanning multiple continents.
The milestone comes as countries accelerate efforts to meet climate targets and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Masdar’s growing portfolio includes large-scale solar farms, onshore and offshore wind projects, and hybrid renewable systems that support energy security while cutting carbon emissions. These projects are located across the Middle East, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, highlighting the company’s truly global footprint.
Company officials said the achievement aligns with the UAE’s long-term climate and sustainability goals, including its commitment to net-zero emissions. Masdar has played a key role in advancing clean energy deployment in both developed and emerging markets, often partnering with governments, utilities, and international investors to deliver complex renewable projects.
Industry analysts note that reaching 65GW places Masdar among the top renewable energy developers worldwide. The scale of its operations allows the company to drive innovation, reduce costs, and accelerate the adoption of clean technologies such as advanced energy storage and green hydrogen.
Beyond power generation, Masdar continues to invest in research, innovation, and sustainable urban development, supporting the broader transition to a low-carbon economy. Its projects also contribute to job creation, skills development, and long-term economic diversification.
As global demand for clean energy continues to rise, Masdar’s expanding capacity underscores the UAE’s ambition to remain at the forefront of climate action. The milestone is expected to pave the way for further growth, new partnerships, and increased investment in renewable energy worldwide.
