The event was attended by ADNOC Gas CEO Fatema Al Nuaimi, EWEC CEO Othman Al Ali and representatives from both entities. 

The supply of natural gas by ADNOC Gas facilities to EWEC is expected to facilitate a “smooth” transition to a decarbonised water and electricity system.

The flexible natural gas supply will be delivered to plants in Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE.

Fatema Al Nuaimi said: “We greatly value our long-term partnership with EWEC, which is underpinned by a ten-year strategic agreement, supporting the rise of digitisation, the increasing need for resilient connectivity and growing technology adoption across the UAE’s economy, while advancing the nation’s net-zero ambitions.

“By collaborating across the industrial value chain to leverage Abu Dhabi’s vast gas reserves, we are working to ensure the UAE’s self-sufficiency while continuing to fuel over two thirds of the nation’s industries, driving sustainable economic growth and diversification.”

As EWEC leverages renewable and clean energy innovations to boost the decarbonisation of water and electricity supply in the UAE, supporting the country’s Net Zero by 2050 initiative, gas-fired plants play a crucial role in providing transitional capacity to facilitate the integration of large-scale renewable and clean energy.

Othman Al Ali said: “This landmark agreement with ADNOC Gas ensures a stable and flexible supply of natural gas that is pivotal to enabling the UAE’s energy transition. As we accelerate the integration of renewable and clean energy and advanced technologies, natural gas plays a critical role in bridging the gap between traditional and sustainable energy sources.

“This partnership strengthens EWEC’s ability to deliver a secure, efficient and decarbonised water and electricity system while contributing to the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative. By collaborating with ADNOC Gas, we are reaffirming our shared commitment to powering the UAE’s economic growth, advancing sustainability and ensuring long-term energy security for generations to come.”

Earlier this month, ADNOC Gas awarded three contracts totalling $2.1bn to develop liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply infrastructure to deliver feedstock to the Ruwais LNG project in Abu Dhabi.
