A renewable energy storage site is set to be developed in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi. This is after an agreement was signed between ALEC Energy and Azelio. Azelio will install the site in Q3 2020 together with Masdar and Khalifa University. The purpose of the installation is to evaluate Azelio’s energy storage technology for inclusion in the Masdar product portfolio for current and future renewable energy projects.
