Abu Dhabi: Masdar swung back to profit in 2024, posting a net profit of $112m and tripling assets to 59.8bn dirhams. Key moves include a €5.2bn UK offshore wind investment and multiple acquisitions in Europe and beyond, as it targets 100 GW capacity by 2030.
Abu Dhabi-based renewables company Masdar has announced a return to profitability in 2024, posting a net profit of 412 million dirhams ($112.18 million) after a net loss of 44 million dirhams the previous year. This robust financial performance accompanied a dramatic surge in the company’s total assets, which more than tripled to 59.8 billion dirhams by the end of 2024, up from 18.2 billion dirhams in 2023. Masdar’s significant growth reflects its aggressive global expansion strategy focused on scaling its renewable energy capacity from 51 gigawatts (GW) to an ambitious target of 100 GW by 2030.
Masdar’s expansion has been marked by major acquisitions and investments across multiple continents. In April 2024, it acquired full ownership of Greece’s Terna Energy, reinforcing its foothold in the European market. Additionally, the company committed around €5.2 billion ($5.95 billion) alongside Spain’s Iberdrola to a large offshore wind project in the UK, further underscoring its drive into offshore wind energy. Beyond Europe, Masdar’s portfolio now spans the Middle East, Europe, the United States, and Asia, with new projects launched in several locations.
The company invested approximately $8 billion in equity and secured over $4.5 billion in project financing across nine countries in 2024. Notable developments include seven major project launches such as two battery energy storage systems in the UK, two solar projects in Azerbaijan with a combined capacity of 760 megawatts (MW), and the 1.5-GW Al Ajban Solar Project in the UAE. The company also achieved financial close on projects like Saudi Arabia’s 1.1-GW Al Henakiyah Solar Power Plant and the multi-utility Amaala sustainable development. In Uzbekistan, Masdar inaugurated the 500-MW Zarafshan Wind Farm, which is now the largest wind power operation in Central Asia, highlighting the company’s growing influence in emerging renewable markets.
By the end of 2024, Masdar’s renewable energy capacity reached 51 GW, a 150% increase over two years. The company aims to maintain a balanced portfolio with an equal split between solar and wind power projects and focus on building regional platforms staffed with experienced teams to drive long-term value. Masdar’s CEO, Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, emphasised that despite rising competition and increasing asset valuations in the renewables sector, the company prioritises strategic, sustainable investments that deliver stable returns rather than short-term financial gains.
Masdar is owned by a trio of major Abu Dhabi entities: 43% by the state-controlled utility TAQA, 33% by the sovereign wealth fund Mubadala, and 24% by the oil and gas giant ADNOC. The company is reported to be in early discussions about a potential initial public offering (IPO), an indication of its potential readiness to access broader capital markets to support its growth ambitions.
In addition to its recent expansions, Masdar is actively exploring further acquisitions to deepen its European presence. Sources indicate that the company is considering acquiring a stake in TotalEnergies’ renewable assets in Portugal, potentially through Saeta Yield, a green energy platform it acquired last year. This would complement its existing investments, which include a significant stake in Saeta and a minority interest in a 2-GW solar portfolio with Spain’s Endesa. Masdar has also committed to acquiring a nearly 50% stake in four solar plants in Spain with a combined capacity of 446 MW, further strengthening its position in one of the EU’s largest solar markets.
Masdar’s expansion across key renewable energy markets—Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and North America—demonstrates its clear strategic intent to emerge as one of the world’s leading renewables companies, targeting net-zero aligned growth and significant contributions to global clean energy transitions.
