8. Electricity Demand Forecast<br />

This report has been prepared on the basis <strong>of</strong> <strong>ADWEC</strong>’s latest demand forecast,<br />

<strong>ADWEC</strong>’s Electricity & Water Demand Forecasts <strong>2008</strong> – 2030, and is available on<br />

request or via <strong>ADWEC</strong>’s website www.adwec.ae<br />

Increasingly the ADWEA network is supplying electricity and water to the oil<br />

industry. <strong>ADWEC</strong> has included the following total Abu Dhabi National Oil Company<br />

(ADNOC) electricity demands in its latest demand forecast:<br />

<strong>ADWEC</strong> Peak Electricity Supplies to ADNOC (MW)<br />

<strong>2008</strong> 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015<br />

Total 221 674 678 740 1096 1514 1490 1554<br />

2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023<br />

Total 1581 1592 1596 1613 1677 1744 1771 1781<br />

2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030<br />

Total 1804 1863 1863 1863 1863 1863 1863<br />

At the time <strong>of</strong> writing, ADNOC had not supplied <strong>ADWEC</strong> with a comprehensive list<br />

<strong>of</strong> projects, as requested by <strong>ADWEC</strong>, for which ADNOC would like electricity and<br />

water supplies. It is hoped that ADNOC will provide the requested list to <strong>ADWEC</strong> in<br />

time for the Winter <strong>2008</strong> / 2009 demand forecasts and inclusion in the next <strong>Statement</strong>.<br />

The increased supply <strong>of</strong> electricity and water to ADNOC is considered by <strong>ADWEC</strong> to<br />

be a potential long term source <strong>of</strong> additional demand, over and above the demand<br />

identified elsewhere in this <strong>Statement</strong>, which would in turn necessitate further<br />

capacity additions and create more opportunities for IWPP investors.<br />

Northern Emirates<br />

Peak electricity demand has been growing rapidly in the UAE in recent years and<br />

<strong>ADWEC</strong> has assisted the other utilities in meeting their peaks demands via exports.<br />

UAE Peak Electricity Demands (MW)<br />

Utility 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007<br />

ADWEA 4,116 4,320 4,455 4,790 5,286<br />

DEWA 2,874 3,228 3,571 4,113 4,736<br />

SEWA 1,217 1,294 1,406 1,436 1,557<br />

FEWA 1,043 1,114 1,200 1,410 1,680<br />

Total* 9,250 9,956 10,632 11,749 13,259<br />

* Excludes own generation by ADNOC (approximately 1000 MW) and own DUBAL industrial generation in Dubai<br />

(approximately 1600 MW; http://www.dubal.ae/mediacentre/Article.aspx?id=339). Also note that the total has been obtained<br />

by simple summation, as the peak times / dates are not available for any <strong>of</strong> the utilities except Abu Dhabi.<br />
