In November, Masdar concluded the acquisition of a 49% interest in the project.

During COP28 in Dubai in December 2023, the two entities announced a €15bn strategic partnership agreement to explore collaborative opportunities in offshore wind and green hydrogen projects across key markets including Germany, the UK and the US.

Masdar is committed to advancing offshore wind projects globally and aims to achieve a 100GW renewable energy portfolio capacity by 2030.

RWE will maintain 51% ownership and oversee the development, construction and operational management of the wind farms for their full lifespan.
