Khadem AlRemeithi, Executive Director of the Infrastructure Department at ADIA, said: “This transaction presented an opportunity to expand our existing relationship with ArcLight, which has a long history of successfully investing in power infrastructure and is well positioned through this portfolio to provide the reliable electricity required by AI data centers and local industries.”
