Masdar Clean Energy has commissioned a 103.5MW complex of four onshore wind farms in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
The complex is made up of four projects: a 45MW wind project linked to a 14MW solar farm on Sir Bani Yas Island; a 27MW project on Delma Island; a 27MW project in Al Sila; and a 4.5MW project in Al Halah. Masdar said the project was enabled by low-wind turbines.
The World Bank has predicted that conflict in the Middle East could lead to a dramatic spike in oil prices, which is linked to increases in food prices - however it's argued that the forecasts do not take into account the ability of energy storage to meet demand
