JEDDAH: Turkiye and the UAE are advancing their clean energy collaboration, with a $1 billion solar power project in Nigde Bor marking a new milestone in their growing partnership, Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar said.
The initiative follows a series of strategic agreements between the two nations, including a $27 billion framework signed in 2023 and a memorandum of understanding between Abu Dhabi’s Masdar and Turkiye’s Ministry of Energy.
Both deals reflect the countries’ shared vision for sustainable energy development, technology transfer, and long-term climate goals.
In a post on X, Bayraktar said: “We hosted Mr. Mohamed Jameel Al-Ramahi, CEO of UAE-based energy company Masdar, and his accompanying delegation at our ministry.”
He added that discussions centered on “comprehensive cooperation opportunities, focusing on joint investments in solar energy, onshore and offshore wind projects, pumped-storage hydroelectricity, and technology transfer.”
