Masdar, RWE ink deal to explore global offshore wind development

The two companies are partners in a wind project in London.

Abu Dhabi-based Masdar and Germany-based RWE Renewables entered a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on developing offshore wind projects in key markets.

In a statement, Masdar said it has been working with RWE as shareholders in the London Array Project which has been operational since 2012. The wind project has a capacity of 630 megawatts and can provide power to over half a million homes and avoid almost one million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually.

“By leveraging our two companies’ extensive expertise in this sector, we can help other nations to meet their offshore wind targets, transition to clean energy sources, and meet their net-zero objectives,” said Masdar CEO Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi.

Masdar noted that several markets have ambitious renewable build-out targets like the largest offshore wind market, the UK, which aims to reach 50 gigawatts by 2030, and the US which plans to deploy 30GW of offshore wind by 2030.

It also noted that South Korea aims to reach 20GW of offshore wind capacity by the end of the decade in line with its carbon neutrality goal by 2050.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
