Masdar also listed another 20.7 GW of secured projects or projects approaching final investment approval. Those assets are not all operating plants.

As a result, the year-on-year increase reflects portfolio expansion and new reporting coverage in addition to the performance of facilities already counted in the previous period.","The report cited several milestones from 2025: Germany’s 476-MW Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm began generating power, Uzbekistan’s 250-MW Nur Bukhara solar project was inaugurated, and financing was secured for Saudi Arabia’s 2-GW Al Sadawi solar project. These descriptions refer to different stages. A facility beginning generation, a project being inaugurated, and financing being arranged do not mean the same thing about current operations.","Masdar also highlighted an Abu Dhabi project combining 5.2 GW of solar generation with 19 GWh of battery storage. Its design target is to deliver 1 GW of clean power around the clock; that target did not mean the project was already operating when the report was issued.
