Sector Detail

Energy & Renewables

Utility-scale solar installations, commercial microgrids, and energy storage infrastructure.

The global picture

Most new power is now renewable.

Renewables made up 85.7% of the generating capacity added worldwide in 2025, and governments agreed at COP28 to triple global renewable capacity by 2030.

The constraint has moved from the cost of the technology to grids, storage and finance. The energy security crisis of 2026 added urgency, as countries put more weight on power they can produce at home.

The UAE picture

Clear national targets, backed by very large solar projects.

The UAE has committed to net zero by 2050 and, under its Energy Strategy 2050, to tripling the contribution of renewable energy by 2030.

Dubai's Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park had 3,860 MW in operation at the start of 2026 and is expected to exceed 8,000 MW by 2030. Businesses, meanwhile, increasingly want clean and reliable supply of their own.

The gap

The targets are set. What is short is bankable projects, and storage.

  1. 01

    Commercial and industrial supply

    Businesses want clean power on site or under contract, beyond what utility projects provide.

  2. 02

    Storage

    Solar output has to be shifted to the hours when it is needed.

  3. 03

    Long-term contracts

    Projects depend on creditworthy buyers committing for many years.
