Masdar and Sungrow have signed an agreement covering the delivery of energy storage and PV inverter solutions to support a gigascale, round-the-clock (RTC) renewable energy project in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (Sungrow press release, 21/05/2026).
Under this agreement, Sungrow will supply 7.5 GWh of the PowerTitan 3.0 energy storage system (ESS) as well as 2.6 GW of PV inverters.
- In October 2025, the UAE broke ground on a solar-plus-storage project in Abu Dhabi designed to deliver 1 GW of continuous baseload power. Developed by Masdar in partnership with the Emirates Water and Electricity Company, the project will integrate a 5.2 GW solar PV plant with a 19 GWh battery energy storage system (KEI, 28/10/2025).
- The facility is planned to enter into operation in 2027, with the objective of delivering continuous, utility-scale renewable electricity.
The storage system is designed to operate on a cycle of eight hours of charging followed by 16 hours of discharging, enabling steady energy output and contributing to improved grid stability and operational reliability. By integrating large-scale solar production with substantial storage capacity, the project seeks to ensure a stable power supply for sectors including heavy industry, commercial activity, residential demand, and the emerging digital economy, according to the company’s press release.
