Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC – Masdar, a global clean energy leader, has announced the signing of a collaboration agreement with Emirates Utilities Development Company (EUDC) and Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Energy relating to the development of a gigascale round-the-clock clean energy project in the Central Asian country. The collaboration brings together Masdar’s clean energy leadership with EUDC’s utility-scale development platform, supporting Uzbekistan’s clean energy ambitions through strong cross-border partnerships.
Documents relating to the agreement were exchanged at a ceremony during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) 2026, witnessed by Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, United Arab Emirates, Jamshid Khodjaev, Deputy Prime Minister, Republic of Uzbekistan, Jurabek Mirzamahmudov, Minister of Energy, Republic of Uzbekistan, and Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, Chief Executive Officer of Masdar.
The proposed project will deliver up to 1 gigawatt (GW) of baseload power, with JSC Uzenergosotish, Uzbekistan’s state-owned joint-stock company, acting as offtaker.
The project will add to Masdar’s portfolio of renewable energy projects in Uzbekistan of around 2GW of clean energy capacity, with investments exceeding $2 billion. In November 2025, Masdar signed a Battery Storage Services Agreement with JSC Uzenergosotish to develop the nation’s largest standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) project, with a capacity of 300MW / 600MWh in the Navoi Region of Uzbekistan.
The CIS region is a strategic market for Masdar as it targets a global portfolio capacity of 100GW by 2030. Beyond its footprint in Uzbekistan, the company has an active presence in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.
