Masdar looks forward to virtual ADSW Summit 2021
ABU DHABI, January 17, 2021 Masdar has said maintained a positive trajectory over the course of 2020. Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, through the year Masdar expanded its global footprint, increased the generation capacity of its portfolio, and added new tenants for Masdar City. Masdar entered a number of key strategic markets through the year, with the company now being active in more than 30 countries across the globe. Having pledged at the beginning of 2019 to double its then 4-gigawatt energy portfolio within five years, Masdar will close 2020 with a total generation capacity of almost 11 GW.

Join us for a lively discussion to identify common sense clean energy solutions that address the triple crises of COVID-19, job loss, and climate change in the new Congress. Leaders from both sides of the aisle are ready to take a fresh look at policy options and act quickly to put Americans back to work, strengthen the economy, and address climate change all at the same time. The discussion will encourage discovery and curiosity from the audience and will be a chance to hear cutting edge thinking and engage with political leaders on sensible and actionable solutions.
US
The US is still seeing disturbing news on the Covid front and the economy is starting to show further signs of weakness from the third coronavirus wave. Too many parts of the country are low on ICU beds and concerns are that the slow vaccine rollout will mean lockdown efforts may intensify in the coming weeks.
The Markit flash PMI readings are expected to show softness in both the manufacturing and service sectors. Initial jobless claims are clearly trending higher and could top a million this week. The housing market will remain the bright spot of the economy but both housing starts and existing home sales will show some seasonality weakness.
