Having gone to Abu Dhabi several times for cleantech conferences, I could see that UAE leaders were very keen on futuristic tech and very keen on superlatives — the biggest, the first, the tallest, the fastest, etc. So, I knew it would be quick to deploy robotaxis. Today, the capital … [continued]

Plans are already in the works to expand a new floating solar power plant in Indonesia, setting the stage for similar projects around the world.
Abu Dhabi startup Menhat says it has found a way to make a floating desalinization system that runs on sunlight with no emissions.
EDF Renewables and Jinko Power HK, two of the world’s largest renewable energy developers, have just scored a big one — the financial closing of the 2 gigawatt (GW) Al Dhafra PV2 solar project in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. This is a record breaking solar project in a few regards.
A rather meaningful piece of energy news went almost unnoticed in recent weeks. The Abu Dhabi Power Corporation announced the lowest tariff for solar energy in the world. The new record came as the winning bid for the upcoming 2 GW solar power plant, the Al Dhafra Solar PV project, set the world’s most cost-competitive tariff for solar PV energy, at USD 1.35 cents/kWh.
The UAE’s other major city, Dubai, set the low-solar-PV-price record in January 2015 at what was then a shocking 5.98¢/kWh, then did so again in 2016 at 2.99¢/kWh. Dubai also set a low-price record for concentrated solar power (CSP), at just 7.3¢/kWh. The new low-PV bid chosen by Abu Dhabi’s public electric utility will bring down the cost of solar power to just 1.35¢/kWh.
Sometimes it feels like the Tesla Model S popped onto the scene yesterday. Sometimes it feels like it’s been decades. It was in fact nearly 8 years ago. I thought it would be interesting to look back at Tesla coverage over the years to reflect on how Tesla has grown and matured as well as how media coverage of Tesla has morphed.
I thought I would go back to the Zayed Sustainability Prize winners from last year to check what has changed and how the prize has impacted their operations.
One of India’s leading renewable energy companies, Greenko Energy Holdings, has successfully issued yet another green bond, making it at least the fourth green bond issue since 2014.
