TotalEnergies and Masdar Launch $2.2B Renewable Energy Joint Venture in Asia

TotalEnergies and Masdar have signed a binding agreement to create a 50/50 joint venture valued at $2.2 billion that will merge their onshore renewable operations in Asia. The new platform will hold 3 GW of operating capacity and another 6 GW in advanced development, with those projects expected to come online by 2030.

The venture will become the pair’s exclusive vehicle for developing, building, owning, and operating onshore solar, wind, and battery storage projects in Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, and Uzbekistan. The business will be headquartered in Abu Dhabi Global Market and will initially employ about 200 staff drawn from both partners.

For TotalEnergies, the deal deepens its push to expand its Integrated Power business and strengthen its foothold in Asian electricity markets, where rising power consumption is expected to drive some of the strongest global demand growth this decade. For Masdar, the agreement broadens its exposure to high-growth markets while bringing in a large international partner with scale, project execution capacity, and a sizable existing renewables portfolio.

The transaction underscores how major energy companies are increasingly favoring portfolio combinations and regional platforms over smaller standalone projects. Asia remains one of the most competitive arenas for renewables investment, with governments and utilities seeking more solar, wind, and storage capacity to meet demand growth, improve energy security, and support decarbonization goals.

By pooling assets rather than building country by country on their own, TotalEnergies and Masdar are positioning themselves to compete more effectively for future project pipelines, financing, and market share. The inclusion of battery storage also reflects a broader industry shift toward dispatchable clean power solutions as grids absorb more intermittent renewable generation.

The deal also strengthens energy ties between the UAE and France at a time when Gulf-based clean energy investors are expanding aggressively overseas. Masdar has been building a global renewables footprint for years, while TotalEnergies has been accelerating its transition strategy through electricity and low-carbon investments alongside its legacy oil and gas business.

The agreement still requires regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of closing conditions before completion. Management appointments for the new company will be announced later.
