ABU DHABI, 28th May 2025 (WAM) -- Cox, a global leader in water and energy, and AMEA Power, one of the fastest-growing renewable energy companies in the Middle East and Africa, have joined forces to establish a Joint Venture focused on developing, executing, and managing strategic water and energy infrastructure projects across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

The Joint Venture brings together Cox's extensive experience and strong global market positioning with AMEA Power's leadership in the energy sector, creating a powerful alliance to develop integrated infrastructure projects where access to water and energy are deeply interconnected.

By combining their technical, operational, and financial capabilities, both companies aim to address critical resource challenges in regions with rapidly increasing demand.

This partnership builds on the existing relationship between Cox and AMEA Power. As an anchor shareholder, AMEA Power holds a 3.76% stake in Cox, acquired during Cox's IPO in November. This investment represents a long-term commitment and provides strategic support to Cox's growth and development plans.

Enrique Riquelme, Executive Chairman of Cox, said, "This Joint Venture represents a critical step in Cox's growth strategy, emerging from an integrated vision that combines water and energy solutions to tackle the most pressing challenges and meet the demands of markets in the Middle East and Africa. Through this partnership, we aim to develop projects where access to water and energy complement each other, creating new opportunities where both are essential for the sustainable development of communities."

Hussain Al Nowais, Chairman of AMEA Power, stated, "We are proud to partner with Cox in establishing this Joint Venture, a strategic alliance that brings together AMEA Power's expertise in renewable energy and Cox's leadership in water solutions. This partnership underscores our shared commitment to sustainable development and improving access to essential resources across Africa, the Middle East and Asia. It also reflects our continued support for Cox's growth and sustainability initiatives in these key regions."
