Active Energy has completed the acquisition of a grid connection in Abu Dhabi to strengthen its position in the UAE energy sector and support its infrastructure expansion strategy. Last month, Active Energy Group announced that it has agreed to acquire a 1.5 megavolt-ampere grid connection infrastructure asset in Abu Dhabi.
Active Energy Group, the digital infrastructure company, has completed the acquisition of the Ghummud grid connection asset in Abu Dhabi. The asset comprises a 3.5 megavolt-ampere (MVA) live grid connection with an active transformer and associated electrical infrastructure will provide approximately 2.975 megawatts of immediately available power capacity.
Total consideration is £2 million, split equally between new shares issued at 0.11 pence each and deferred cash payable over 12 months. The company said the asset was acquired at an implied value of approximately £0.57 million per megawatt, a discount to UK replacement costs of between £1 million and £1.5 million per megawatt.
Active Energy said Ghummud has the potential to generate around $1.8 million in annual gross revenue once fully deployed, with free cash flow of between $0.8 million and $0.9 million at steady state, implying a payback period of approximately three years.
The Company will now proceed with the deployment of modular infrastructure at the site and progress discussions in respect of off‑take arrangements, with the objective of bringing the asset into near‑term revenue generation.
The acquisition is the third asset in the company's portfolio alongside an 8 MVA project announced in October 2025 and the Kazna 1.5 MVA site, as it pursues a target of 100 MVA of energized capacity within 18 months.
Clean energy is now one of the quiet drivers of property demand. The UAE Energy Strategy 2050 targets lifting clean energy’s share of the national mix toward 50%, backed by projected investments of up to Dh600 billion by mid-century. That capital is not only building power generation capacity but also creating supporting ecosystems.
