Masdar，一Abu Dhabi's Mubadala投资公司的全资子公司将同两大欧洲公司Total 与Abengoa Solar一道支出6亿美元在距城市75英里的沙漠打造太阳能发电站。
投产两年后该电站发电量将达100兆瓦时，仅稍小于Emirati1/5居民的电力需求，估计到到2020年该电站的发电量可达20亿瓦。
Abu Dhabi拥有大约150万人口，其中五分之一是酋长国公民，该地经常被描述为地球上石油储量国家。但该地野心勃勃，想要成为世界领文化及环境的领导者。最近赢得了国际可再生能源机构总部的主建权。
Masdar（马斯达尔）正计划建立世界上第一个零排放“生态城市”，虽然该项目非常困难的，但有关资料已开始正式审查。
Masdar, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Abu Dhabi's Mubadala investment company, will join two European companies, Total and Abengoa Solar, in spending $600m (£411m) on the plant in the desert 75 miles from the city.
With a capacity when it come on stream in two years' time of 100 megawatts, "Shams 1" will make only a small dent in Abu Dhabi's power needs, estimated at 20 gigawatts by 2020.
Abu Dhabi, with a population of about 1.5m, less than a fifth of them Emirati citizens, has been often described as the richest city on earth due to its huge oil reserves. But it has ambitions to be a world leader in culture and the environment, and recently won the right to host the headquarters of the International Renewable Energy Agency.
Masdar is already trying to build the world's first zero-emissions "eco-city", though the project is said to be in difficulty and is officially under review.
