The collaboration across India, Africa, and Asia will scale up renewables and energy storage, ensuring reliable, sustainable power for millions, said in the press-release.

The signing occurred during the third plenary meeting of the UAE-France High-Level Business Council in Paris, following discussions between UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and French President Emmanuel Macron, who reaffirmed their countries' strategic partnership in climate action and clean energy solutions.
“Enabled by the strength of the UAE-France bilateral relationship, Masdar is proud to be working with TotalEnergies to help deliver clean energy access across Southeast Asia and Africa,” said Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, CEO of Masdar. "This agreement reflects our shared commitment to empowering local communities, driving socio-economic growth, sustainable progress, and advancing the global energy transformation.”

By combining the strengths, expertise, and reach of Masdar, EPointZero, and TotalEnergies, we will certainly accelerate growth and enhance the quality of our investment in these rapidly developing markets.”
