Emerge to Install 13.25MWp Solar PV Plant for Tawazun Industrial Park
Emerge, a joint venture between Masdar and the EDF Group, has finalized an agreement to construct a 13.25MWp solar photovoltaic (PV) plant at Tawazun Industrial Park (TIP). This significant deal was signed on the second day of IDEX 2025 in Abu Dhabi, in the presence of Aurelien Delahaye, Deputy CEO ME of EDF, and Ali Alshimmari, Head of Strategic and Special Projects at Masdar. The agreement was executed by Michel Abi Saab, General Manager of Emerge, and Faiz Al Nahdi, CEO of Tawazun Industrial Park.
The project includes an 11.5MWp ground-mounted solar PV plant and a 1.75MWp carport, which together are expected to prevent the emission of 14,064 tons of CO₂ annually. This reduction is equivalent to the emissions produced by more than 25% of the current residents of TIP. Construction of the solar plant is set to commence in late 2025.
Faiz Al Nahdi, CEO of Tawazun Industrial Park, stated, “Our collaboration with Emerge marks a significant step in integrating clean energy solutions into Tawazun Industrial Park. This project underscores our responsibility to minimize environmental impact while fostering a modern, forward-thinking industrial hub. By incorporating renewable energy, we are equipping TIP and its resident companies with sustainable resources to thrive. This initiative aligns with national priorities, including the UAE’s ‘Net Zero by 2050 Strategy’, and reinforces our role in driving innovation and sustainable growth across strategic sectors.”
Michel Abi Saab added, “We are extremely proud to welcome TIP as a client and to demonstrate the value we add as an energy services company. Our turnkey solutions offer businesses like TIP the opportunity to decarbonize and transition toward a sustainable future without upfront costs. We look forward to supporting and empowering TIP to achieve its sustainability goals.”
Emerge will manage the entire project lifecycle under a Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) agreement, which encompasses financing, design, procurement, construction, operation, and maintenance of the solar plant for a period of 25 years.
