About the Company

Nadara’s strength comes from our wonderfully diverse people, proud moments, and pioneering initiatives, combining to give us a history that empowers our present and elevates our ambitions.

Moreover, over the next 10 years, Nadara's development pipeline includes as much as 18 GW.

In Nadara, we work harmoniously with the power of nature and the communities around us to power lifetimes to come. We call our approach ‘living energy’.

We don’t just produce renewable energy, we live it – recognizing our relationship with the people touched by our business and supporting social, educational, cultural, and environmental initiatives that contribute to the development of the communities we work alongside.

Nadara is an innovative place to work. We work in a stimulating and challenging environment, where every day we explore the unknown with curiosity, make decisions with quality and take action and deliver with courage. For us diversity is a real value, and we encourage in connecting different perspectives with respect.
