Al Masaood Power partners with Instagrid to introduce UAE's first portable, emission-free battery system.

The Instagrid ONE model delivers 3,6 kW output, weighs about 20 kilos, and fully charges in under three hours.

This collaboration aligns with UAE’s Net Zero 2050 goals, offering sustainable alternatives to conventional generators.

Portable batteries promise cost savings, reduced noise, and lower hazards for industrial and commercial sectors.

Local innovators bridge global solutions and regional needs, fostering a shift in clean tech perspectives.

Abu Dhabi is steadily becoming a hub for clean tech innovation, and the latest move by Al Masaood Power suggests the momentum isn’t slowing. The company, part of the well-known Al Masaood Group, has just signed an MoU with German tech pioneer Instagrid, introducing what’s claimed to be the UAE’s first professional-grade, portable and emission‑free battery system. The agreement was inked at GITEX 2025 in Dubai – a fitting stage for this kind of sustainable tech partnership.

Instagrid's claim to fame is its sleek, heavy-duty battery pack that professionals can carry with one hand and still power demanding equipment. Think construction sites, outdoor events, or even emergency services where a stable source of electricity can make or break operations. What stands out is that the Instagrid ONE model only weighs around 20 kilos but still manages a continuous 3.6 kW output, peaking up to 18 kW. And here’s the neat bit – it charges fully in under three hours. No fumes, no roaring generators, just plug, power, and go.

Al Masaood Power’s CEO, Hani El Tanir, noted that the agreement would bring a new wave of clean energy alternatives to the UAE’s industrial and commercial sectors. He connected the move to the country’s Net Zero 2050 ambitions, which, let’s be honest, have become more concrete in recent years as firms realise sustainability isn’t just a buzzword anymore. On the same line, Instagrid’s Chief of Staff, Arvin Amiry, called the collaboration a key step in giving UAE businesses a “reliable, sustainable alternative” to conventional generators. Sounds spot on to me.

What I find particularly striking is how this initiative goes beyond environmental optics. Portable, emission‑free batteries can actually save companies money over time, slashing fuel and maintenance costs while reducing noise and hazards – a win-win if you ask me. I reckon the days of hauling noisy diesel gensets around worksites might be numbered. Still, for anyone who’s set up outdoor power before, shifting habits could be a bit of a faff at first. But that said, when you’ve got something that runs clean, quietly, and doesn’t depend on dozens of moving parts, you warm up to it pretty quickly.

From an Arageek perspective, it’s encouraging to see local distributors like Al Masaood bridging the gap between global innovation and regional needs. These are exactly the kind of partnerships that empower startups and energy companies across MENA to rethink what “portable” really means in clean tech. And believe it or not, for those of us who’ve spent time among ambitious founders hustling for sustainability solutions, announcements like this don’t just mark progress—they hint at a shift in the ecosystem’s mindset. I’m definately curious to see how quickly others follow suit.
