Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (Taqa) is earmarking over 80% of its planned<\/strong> capital expenditures through 2030 for energy transition projects<\/strong>, Group CEO Jasim Thabet told Al Etihad<\/a>. The company is planning to deploy AED 75 bn in capex by 2030 \u2014 including AED 40 bn for transmission and distribution, and AED 35 bn for power generation and water desalination \u2014 and already deployed AED 27 bn of that figure by the end of 2024. It is eyeing upping its electricity generation capacity to 150 GW by 2030 as well.<\/p>\n

International expansion remains a focus<\/strong>, Thabet added. Taqa recently secured two new power projects with a combined 3.6 GW<\/a> capacity and a AED 1.5 bn<\/a> water infrastructure contract in Saudi Arabia\u2019s Makkah region. Its acquisition of Transmission Investment<\/a> marked its entry into the UK\u2019s offshore electricity transmission sector. Thabet also previously described<\/a> the US as a \u201ckey market\u201d for future acquisitions.<\/p>\n
