Mubadala and ADPIC partner to explore strategic collaborations
Mubadala Investment Company (Mubadala), an Abu Dhabi sovereign investor, and the Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre (ADPIC) have signed a partnership agreement to foster collaborations in various areas which features a comprehensive framework for cooperation between the two organisations, aimed at advancing infrastructure initiatives crucial to Abu Dhabi's development as a leading destination of choice.
These include comprehensive feasibility studies, knowledge sharing, and assessments to evaluate the viability for proposed projects, as well as sharing insights to develop sustainable financing models.
The agreement was signed on the first day of Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit (ADIS) 2025, in the presence of Maysarah Mahmoud Eid, Director-General, ADPIC and Khalifa Al Romaithi, Executive Director of UAE Real Estate at Mubadala's UAE Investments Platform.
Commenting on the collaboration, Maysarah Mahmoud Eid said, 'Through our collaboration with Mubadala, we are dedicated to pioneering sustainable, high-quality projects that will promote economic growth and create lasting infrastructure developments that meet the Emirate's needs while contributing to its prosperity.'
Khalifa Al Romaithi said, 'Our partnership with ADPIC is centred around spearheading future focused state-of-the-art infrastructure projects in Abu Dhabi. This collaboration is a testament to Mubadala and ADPIC's commitment to support Abu Dhabi Government ambitions in making the emirate one of the world's most liveable and economically resilient cities.'
The partnership between Mubadala and ADPIC is set to drive forward-thinking solutions and comprehensive project planning across Abu Dhabi's infrastructure landscape, reflecting a robust commitment to future-proofing the Emirate's growth and solidifying its position as a dynamic hub for investment and development.
The Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit, hosted by ADPIC, is a strategic platform that convenes global leaders, investors, and industry experts to explore innovation, investment, and sustainability in infrastructure. The summit supports Abu Dhabi's long-term vision by fostering collaboration and showcasing opportunities that will shape the Emirate's future-ready, resilient built environment.
Meanwhile Mubadala, the Abu Dhabi sovereign investor, and Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (Taqa), one of the largest listed integrated utilities in Europe, the Middle East and Africa have completed the acquisition of a gas-fired power generation plant at the Talimarjan Power Complex in Uzbekistan.
Mubadala and Taqa each hold a 40 per cent stake in the 875 MW TPP1 combined-cycle gas-fired plant through a newly established project company, Talimarjan Power Plant 1 LLC. Both Taqa and Mubadala also hold a 40 per cent stake in the Talimarjan Operations & Maintenance LLC (O&M), which was established to operate the plant.
Uzbekistan's JSC 'Talimarjan Issiqlik Elektr Stansiyasi' (TIES) holds the remaining 20 per cent stakes in both the project company and the O&M entity.
This transaction supports investments into the privatisation of Uzbekistan's power sector. It follows a strategic partnership between the Governments of Uzbekistan and the United Arab Emirates whereby Mubadala and Taqa will bring their global power sector expertise to the local power market in Uzbekistan. The 875 MW TPP1 plant has a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with JSC 'Uzenergosotish' (UES) (successor power purchaser to JSC 'National Electric Grid of Uzbekistan') for 25 years and plays a critical part in meeting demand for electricity in Uzbekistan as the country continues to experience rapid population and economic growth. Hammad Rahman, Head of Asia Pacific Infrastructure at Mubadala, said: 'Mubadala is committed to supporting countries across the world to meet their energy needs while reducing carbon emissions. Efficient natural gas-fired powered plants such as TPP1 will play an important part in enabling the transition to cleaner sources of energy.'
'Uzbekistan is recording a significant growth in demand for power, and Mubadala looks forward to working with Taqa and our local partner TIES to ensure communities and businesses across the country have access to reliable, affordable and secure power supply that supports progress and socioeconomic development.'
Frank Possmeier, Chief Investment Officer, Generation at Taqa, said: 'Taqa is pleased to collaborate with Mubadala and TIES in acquiring this vital asset that plays a crucial role in Uzbekistan's journey towards a privatised energy sector. As a low carbon power and water champion, Taqa will leverage its extensive experience and expertise to help Uzbekistan meet its growing energy needs while continuing to invest in this critical sector. Our stake in TPP1 demonstrates progress in delivering on our 2030 targets which aim to grow our power generation capacity to 150 GW and strengthens our operation and maintenance capabilities which is also a pivotal element of our strategy.
