January 22, 2025 [Storage Terminals Magazine]- ADNOC Gas plc, a leading integrated gas processing company, has entered a landmark long-term partnership with Emirates Water and Electricity Company to support the UAE’s energy transformation. The collaboration is underpinned by a 10-year flexible natural gas sales and purchase agreement worth $10 billion between ADNOC Gas Facilities LLC and EWEC.
The partnership was announced during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2025 at the World Future Energy Summit, with key representatives including Fatema Al Nuaimi, CEO of ADNOC Gas, and Othman Al Ali, CEO of EWEC.
Fatema Al Nuaimi highlighted the partnership’s strategic importance, stating:
“This 10-year agreement underlines our commitment to leveraging Abu Dhabi’s vast gas reserves to support the UAE’s net-zero ambitions. By fueling over two-thirds of the nation’s industries, we are driving sustainable economic growth and diversification while ensuring energy self-sufficiency.”
Othman Al Ali emphasised the critical role of natural gas in bridging the transition to renewable energy, saying:
“This agreement secures a stable and flexible natural gas supply pivotal to the UAE’s energy transition. By enabling a decarbonised water and electricity system and supporting renewable integration, we are contributing to the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative while powering economic growth and sustainability.”
The agreement ensures the delivery of natural gas to gas-fired plants across Abu Dhabi and the UAE, providing essential transitional capacity to integrate large-scale renewable and clean energy. Gas-fired plants’ ability to adapt output to real-time demand complements solar power during peak periods, supporting a resilient and lower-carbon energy system.
By collaborating with EWEC, ADNOC Gas underscores its role in advancing the UAE’s energy transformation. The partnership highlights the shared commitment to sustainability, with ADNOC Gas providing secure, flexible, and affordable lower-carbon energy solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of its customers.
This collaboration reflects ADNOC Gas’s broader strategy to drive value for its shareholders and contribute to the UAE’s economic growth while advancing digital technologies and decarbonisation efforts. The partnership reinforces the alignment of both organisations with the UAE’s strategic goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, further cementing their roles as leaders in the global energy transition.
