Taaleri deputy chief executive officer Karri Haaparinne and Masdar executive director of clean energy Bader Al Lamki signed the joint venture agreement at the World Future Energy Summit (WFES) in Abu Dhabi.

Al Lamki said: “What we’ve accomplished in partnership with Taaleri in Serbia and Jordan is a testament to the important role that strong partnerships play in unlocking access to renewable energy. We are proud to build on the experiences gained through our strong collaboration, to help countries in Central and Eastern Europe meet their renewable energy goals.”

Taaleri managing director Kai Rintala added: “Working together with Masdar in this joint venture we will generate high-quality deal flow in Central and Eastern Europe, which will provide the funds that we manage opportunities to invest in the region in attractive projects with high-calibre investment, financing, equipment and construction partners and counterparties.”
