Clean Energy Pact Secured: Masdar and Misk City Tie Up for Two Decades in Solar Energy Venture
Misk City, a flagship model for sustainable urbanism in the Middle East, has taken a significant step forward with a new partnership. Emerge, a joint venture of Masdar and EDF, has signed an agreement to develop a 621-kilowatt peak (kWp) rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system as part of a broader framework signed earlier this year [1][2][4].
The project, which includes a dedicated carport and other infrastructure within Misk City, will be overseen by Emerge for the complete project lifecycle, from engineering and design to financing, procurement, construction, operations, and maintenance [2].
This partnership holds several benefits for Misk City. It will lead to a significant reduction in carbon emissions, supporting the city's sustainability and low-carbon urban living goals [1]. The project also advances Misk City towards LEED certification, positioning it as one of the region's most sustainable urban communities [1].
Moreover, the partnership aligns with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 by promoting environmental innovation and green urbanism in a unique nonprofit urban development [1][2]. The project leverages the global expertise and innovation of Masdar and EDF, ensuring world-class quality and customized clean energy solutions throughout the project lifecycle [1][2].
Omar AlDaweesh, Emerge board member and CEO for Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, EDF Group and EDF power solutions, stated that the partnership is a testament to the growing momentum for clean energy adoption in the Kingdom [3].
Meanwhile, Google has also signed a solar power supply deal with SB Energy, a SoftBank-backed company, further underscoring the global shift towards renewable energy. However, no call to follow the website on LinkedIn was explicitly mentioned in the article.
This partnership marks a significant step for Misk City, which aims to be a forward-looking, sustainable urban community that integrates clean energy as a fundamental component of its infrastructure and environmental responsibility [1][2].
