Summary

UAE-based energy transition platform Positive Zero has closed a landmark non-recourse debt facility of up to $375 million, marking a major milestone for the region's decentralized utility sector. Host Tim Elliott is joined by David Auriau, CEO of Positive Zero, to analyze how this structured financing—arranged with Natixis CIB and The Arab Energy Fund—aims to accelerate solar, energy efficiency, and clean mobility projects across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, and Qatar.
