As hundreds of companies pitch their wares over the coming days during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, French utility Engie is deepening its involvement in the region.
Engie is particularly interested in the growing development of wind and solar farms in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, Bloomberg reports.
“The Gulf region has a serious potential,” Francois-Xavier Boul, Engie’s Managing Director for renewables in the Middle East and North Africa regions, told the news agency, pointing to the large contracts coming up for auction.
The Paris-based company, which already operates gas-fired power plants in the Gulf, is preparing to bid for four solar projects and a wind project in Saudi Arabia, Boul said.
