AEPCo and elementsix partner to drive corporate decarbonisation in MENA
AEPCo and elementsix have launched an integrated clean energy and ESG solution for Gulf companies, helping businesses measure, reduce, and offset emissions while navigating upcoming corporate climate disclosure rules.
Alternative Energy Projects Co. (AEPCo), a renewable energy developer with a 650 MW project portfolio across more than 20 installations in the MENA region, has partnered with Dubai-based carbon and ESG advisory firm elementsix to accelerate corporate decarbonisation in the Gulf and broader MENA region.
According to the report by Zawya, the integrated solution allows companies to measure their carbon footprint, define reduction strategies, and deploy actionable clean energy projects under one umbrella.
The partnership comes amid increasing regulatory pressure. Kuwait’s Capital Markets Authority and the UAE’s Federal Decree-Law No. 11 are introducing binding corporate climate disclosure rules within the next 12–18 months.
At the same time, the region’s clean energy transition is accelerating: GCC countries are expected to deploy 40 GW of utility-scale solar capacity by 2030, while the wider MENA region is projected to add 62 GW over the next five years, with solar accounting for more than 85% of that growth, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Zawya said.
AEPCo and elementsix’s collaboration aims to fill a critical gap in this evolving landscape. Elementsix brings expertise in carbon accounting and ESG strategy, while AEPCo contributes project development, execution, and financing capabilities. Together, they offer solutions ranging from solar and wind energy deployment to energy efficiency upgrades and emissions tracking.
The partnership provides:
- Full-cycle carbon footprint analysis and reduction planning
- Development of clean energy assets aligned with corporate targets
- Access to global carbon markets and renewable energy certificates
- Strategic ESG alignment for investor confidence and regulatory readiness
