move Abu Dhabi power and water infrastructure forward over the last ten years. We
live in unparalleled times of success and prosperity. ADWEA has significantly worked
through the last decade to increase production from 200 million gallons water per day in
1999 to reach to more than 823 million gallons water per day, and from producing 3,000
MW to more than 13,000 MW electricity, which makes Abu Dhabi the only city in the
region that does not face any shortage in water and electricity production.
MEED also added that under the distinguished leadership of H.H. Sheikh Diab bin Zayed
Al Nahyan, ADWEA have been working in line with the Government of Abu Dhabi
Strategy with regards to the water and electricity sector, including introducing an
ambitious programme for privatization which attracts leading international firms and
banks, as well as local, regional and international investors and financiers. ADWEA has
also been entering into agreements with international legal, financing and technical
consultants
H.H. Sheikh Diab bin Zayed Al Nahyan and ADWEA have addressed a host of challenges,
including regional change and global economic turbulence, with consistency and the
highest standards of professional competence. The authority is a vital source of
electricity to other parts of the UAE and is making a key contribution to the
development of a technically-qualified and highly-motivated national workforce. It is
tackling future challenges through careful planning, effective long-term investment in
capacity, action to reduce waste and increase efficiency and an appetite for new
technology, including the benefits that renewable energy can bring to the people of Abu
Dhabi and the UAE.
“H.H. Sheikh Diab bin Zayed Al Nahyan has been central to the progress of power and water
developments in Abu Dhabi”, the spokesperson concluded, “Abu Dhabi Water & Electricity
Authority sets a template in adopting and introducing digital management systems
throughout its several directorates, moving ADWEA from being a traditional government
department to an electronic one. H.H. Sheikh Diab bin Zayed Al Nahyan and ADWEA have
set the benchmark for excellence that is defining the future of water and power strategy.”
Abu Dhabi Water & Electricity Authority has been implementing its privatization
programme since its foundation in 1999. The programme resulted in having nine strategic
projects being executed in partnerships with international firms. ADWEA privatization
programme has become the model to other GCC and Arabic water and electricity
companies keen to learn from ADWEA experience and achievements in this field.
