UAE’s Masdar Invests Billions in European Renewable Energy
Masdar, the Abu Dhabi Future energy Company, is rapidly expanding its European footprint, making significant investments in Spain and Portugal’s burgeoning renewable energy markets. This aggressive expansion underscores Masdar’s global ambition to become a major player in the clean energy transition.
The company’s recent moves include a €1.2 billion acquisition of Saeta Yield from Brookfield Renewable Partners, a deal that includes a €696 million equity valuation. Saeta boasts a substantial portfolio of 745 megawatts (MW) of wind and solar assets across Spain and portugal, along with a promising 1.6-gigawatt (GW) advancement pipeline. This acquisition significantly boosts Masdar’s existing European holdings.
Masdar isn’t stopping there. In a strategic partnership with Spain’s endesa, a subsidiary of the Enel Group, Masdar acquired a 49.99% stake in EGPE Solar for an enterprise value of €817 million and an equity value of €280 million. EGPE Solar operates a 2-GW portfolio of solar photovoltaic (PV) assets in Spain, further solidifying Masdar’s commitment to the region.
“These landmark acquisitions build on Masdar’s strong growth story and reinforce its credentials as a trusted global partner for governments, investors, and communities, demonstrating our commitment to the EU’s wider Net Zero by 2050 strategy. the acquisition of Saeta, as well as our partnership with Endesa, is a strong vote of confidence in Spain and Portugal, where we will work to unlock new capacity as Masdar targets a global capacity of 100GW by 2030.” — Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, Chief Executive Officer of Masdar
This expansion builds upon Masdar’s November acquisition of a majority stake in TERNA ENERGY in Greece, demonstrating a clear strategy of consolidating its position across Europe. The combined assets from Saeta, TERNA ENERGY, and the Endesa partnership will significantly contribute to Masdar’s enterprising goal of reaching 100 GW of global renewable energy capacity by 2030.
The importance of Masdar’s investments extends beyond Europe. the company’s parent companies, TAQA, ADNOC, and Mubadala, are collectively aiming for a 100 GW renewable energy portfolio and a leading role in green hydrogen production by 2030. This ambitious vision aligns with global efforts to combat climate change and transition to cleaner energy sources. The increasing demand for aluminum in renewable energy technologies, as projected by AL Circle research, further highlights the interconnectedness of these global initiatives. AL Circle research projects significant growth in aluminum consumption related to the energy transition in 2025.
Masdar’s strategic moves in Europe signal a significant shift in the global renewable energy landscape, highlighting the growing importance of international collaboration in achieving sustainable energy goals. The company’s success in securing these substantial investments underscores the confidence in the future of renewable energy in Europe and beyond.
