<\/a> UAE\u2019s Masdar acquires UK energy storage firm Arlington Energy: <\/strong>Emirati renewables company Masdar<\/a> has acquired UK-based battery energy storage system (BESS) outfit Arlington Energy<\/a>, the company said in a statement<\/a> yesterday. No information was provided on the value of the transaction.<\/p>\n

Tapping into Europe:<\/strong> The acquisition will allow the companies to develop, construct, manage, and finance BESS projects under one Masdar-Arlington platform. It will also allow Masdar to increase its offshore wind and renewables investments and scale up energy storage operations in Europe, the statement says.<\/p>\n

What is<\/strong> Arlington Energy? <\/strong>The London-based BESS company has developed and operated over 170 MW of assets in the past two years. BESS solutions allow energy to be released from renewables during peak demand, solving the issue of energy supply during hours where the sun isn\u2019t shining for solar panels or the wind isn\u2019t blowing for wind turbines, for example.<\/p>\n

Masdar is capitalizing on wind and green hydrogen projects:<\/strong> The company has assets in upward of 40 countries, and a combined renewables capacity of 15 GW and USD 20 bn in investments \u2014 aiming to reach 100 GW capacity by 2030, Masdar\u2019s acting executive director for clean energy told The National<\/a> earlier this month. Masdar signed<\/a> an agreement with Germany\u2019s RWE Renewables<\/a> to explore wind projects last month and agreed to develop 2 GW of renewable energy projects in Tanzania<\/a> in August. It also signed<\/a> an agreement with Fertiglobe<\/a> and France\u2019s Engie<\/a> to co-develop a green hydrogen facility in the UAE last January.<\/p>\n

PART OF A BROAD TREND- GCC investments in western green assets are heating up.<\/strong> The UAE\u2019s sovereign wealth fund Mubadala Investment Company acquired stakes in German offshore wind developer Skyborn Renewables<\/a> and US offshore project Bluepoint Wind<\/a> for an undetermined amount earlier this month<\/a>. GCC-focused alternative asset manager Wafra<\/a> also acquired a majority stake<\/a> in US utility-scale renewable asset developer Mission Clean Energy<\/a>, and Kuwait-based Agility Ventures<\/a> made a USD 40 mn investment<\/a> in US EV charging station company Loop Global<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
