ABU DHABI: Active Energy Group plc (AEG), a UK-based alternative energy company, announced Wednesday it has signed Heads of Terms with a third-party for the initial phase of its 300-megawatt renewable infrastructure pipeline in the United Arab Emirates.
Construction has begun on the first 8 MW of capacity, with completion targeted for January 2026. AEG has submitted an application to expand the site by an additional 25 MW, bringing total capacity to 33 MW. The initial phase requires a $2.5 million investment and is part of the company’s modular rollout strategy, designed for rapid deployment and capital efficiency.
Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC has approved the initial 8 MW connection. Lease agreements and site surveys have been finalized, and all necessary permits secured. AEG expects the first 8 MW to be operational and hosting third-party clients by the end of 2025.
“This marks the formal launch of our 300 MW UAE pipeline,” said Paul Elliott, CEO of AEG. “With ultra-low-cost energy as our USP, we’re positioned to deliver aggressive ROI and scale rapidly to meet demand from AI hyperscalers and Bitcoin mining clients.”
AEG’s phased roadmap includes:
- Phase 1: 8 MW deployment (0–3 months)
- Phase 2: Expansion to 33 MW (3–9 months)
- Phase 3: Scale to 100 MW with a new 60 MW site (9–24 months)
- Phase 4: Expansion to 200 MW across additional sites (24–36 months)
The company’s infrastructure will support AI, blockchain, and high-performance computing clients, leveraging surplus energy from renewable and conventional sources. ESG enhancements such as water-efficient cooling and heat recapture systems are also planned.
AEG anticipates finalizing a binding agreement and completing outstanding conditions precedent in the coming weeks. The full 300 MW pipeline is expected to be delivered within 36 months.
