Taking up the role on Sunday next (April 21), Al Lamki joins from Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, better known as Masdar, where he was the executive director of the Clean Energy Directorate.

At Masdar, Al Lamki helped build the company’s renewable energy portfolio across 25 countries, leading on a number of its most iconic projects. He was also responsible for maximising value from Masdar’s utility-scale renewable energy portfolio globally.
