Mubadala has invested US$325 million in the UK’s Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm as part of its renewable energy expansion plans.

ABU DHABI: Abu Dhabi’s sovereign investment company Mubadala has announced a major investment of US$325 million into the Hornsea 3 offshore wind project in the United Kingdom, strengthening its growing global renewable energy portfolio.

The project, developed by Danish energy company Orsted, is expected to become the world’s largest offshore wind farm once completed. Hornsea 3 will have a planned generation capacity of 2.9 gigawatts and is expected to produce enough renewable electricity to power more than 3.3 million homes across the UK.

Mubadala is joining the investment through a consortium led by Apollo-managed funds, alongside investors including USS and La Caisse. The deal follows Apollo Funds acquiring a 50 per cent stake in the joint venture holding Hornsea 3, while Orsted continues to retain the remaining 50 per cent share.

The Mubadala wind farm investment reflects the UAE’s broader push towards clean energy and sustainable infrastructure projects around the world. Abu Dhabi has continued increasing investments in renewable energy as countries accelerate efforts to reduce carbon emissions and expand low-carbon electricity production.

Industry experts say offshore wind energy has become one of the fastest-growing renewable sectors globally due to strong government support and rising demand for cleaner power sources. Large-scale offshore wind farms are especially important for helping countries meet long-term climate targets and energy transition goals.

Mubadala has steadily expanded its presence in global energy markets over recent years through investments in renewable energy, infrastructure and advanced technologies. Analysts say the latest UK investment strengthens economic cooperation between the UAE and Britain while supporting international clean energy development.

The Hornsea 3 project is expected to create jobs across construction, engineering and energy supply chains during development and operational phases. Offshore wind projects also play a key role in improving long-term energy security by reducing reliance on traditional fossil fuels.

The Mubadala wind farm investment highlights the UAE’s growing role as a major international investor in sustainable and renewable energy projects across Europe and other global markets.
