Offshore wind have turbines located in the ocean able to harness stronger and more consistent winds to deliver reliable high energy yields. Masdar has developed and is operating several landmark offshore wind projects in Europe, including the 476-megawatt (MW) Baltic Eagle project in Germany and the 1.4-gigawatt (GW) East Anglia, and the THREE project in the UK.
The collaboration between AD Ports Group and Masdar is aligned with the UAE’s national vision for economic diversification and sustainable development and the partnership aims to set a new benchmark for offshore wind deployment.
