The state-owned renewable energy firm, the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar), owns the UAE Wind Program. It was constructed by China's state-owned Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina), which announced the project's completion today, and Beijing-based global wind turbine maker GoldWind.
The project is also creating a foundation of critical scientific wind data, which will form the basis of the UAE's next phase of development.
