Aed Energy has secured investment from Catalyst, the Masdar City and bp-backed accelerator dedicated to advancing climate technologies across the Middle East and beyond.
This funding will support Aed Energy’s expansion in the region and accelerate the deployment of its long-duration thermal energy storage systems.
As part of the partnership, Aed Energy will establish a branch office in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, reinforcing its commitment to developing decentralised energy, water, and cooling infrastructure across the GCC and wider MENA region.
The new office situates the company within a global centre for clean energy innovation and commercialisation.
Optimised operations
Catalyst, backed by Masdar City and bp, provides a strong platform for scaling practical, impact-driven technologies.
With access to strategic partners and deep regional expertise, Catalyst’s investment will help Aed Energy rapidly deploy its storage systems in markets where stable, dispatchable clean energy is crucial to meeting growing demand.
Aed Energy’s modular thermal batteries store surplus renewable electricity as high-temperature heat and deliver zero-carbon baseload energy on demand.
Suitable for applications in heat, power, and cooling, these MWh-scale systems are designed for reliable, low-maintenance operation.
Their flexibility makes them particularly effective in settings where conventional batteries underperform, including remote grids, heavy industry, and integrated energy–water–cooling systems.
