ADNOC Gas celebrated a new long-term strategic partnership with Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) to support the UAE’s energy transformation. This landmark agreement is underpinned by a 10-year flexible natural gas sales and purchase agreement between ADNOC Gas Facilities and EWEC worth $10 billion.
The two parties celebrated the strategic partnership during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2025 on the sidelines of the World Future Energy Summit (WFES). In attendance were Fatema Al Nuaimi, CEO of ADNOC Gas, Othman Al Ali, CEO of EWEC, and representatives from both entities.
“We greatly value our long-term partnership with EWEC, which is underpinned by a 10-year strategic agreement, supporting the rise of digitization, the increasing need for resilient connectivity and growing technology adoption across the UAE’s economy, while advancing the nation’s net-zero ambitions,” stated Al Nuaimi.
ADNOC Gas supports cleaner energy transition
The partnership highlights ADNOC Gas’s commitment to supporting its customers as they transition to cleaner energy solutions by providing them with reliable, secure, flexible and affordable lower-carbon energy that will have a tangible impact on their carbon footprint and deliver greater long-term value for our shareholders. Notably, ADNOC Gas supplies approximately 60 percent of the UAE’s sales gas needs and supplies end-customers in over 20 countries.
“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,” added Al Nuaimi.
A stable supply of natural gas supports the country’s transition to a lower-carbon water and electricity system. Because gas-fired plants can start and stop quickly and adapt their output to real-time demand and supply changes, they complement and enable the large-scale integration of solar power, offering crucial flexibility during peak demand periods.

Decarbonizing UAE’s water and electricity system
For its part, EWEC continues to utilize transformative renewable and clean energy innovations to drive the decarbonization of water and electricity supply in the UAE, supporting the country’s Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative. The company also aims to implement strategic initiatives that will achieve its 60 percent clean energy target. Gas-fired plants provide important transitional capacity, enabling the continued integration of large-scale renewable and clean energy.
ADNOC Gas will deliver a flexible natural gas supply to plants across Abu Dhabi and the UAE, solidifying the shared commitment of both parties to drive sustainable economic growth in the UAE. In addition, ADNOC Gas will support EWEC in its strategic plans to transform the UAE’s energy sector into a clean and renewable-focused industry, driving the nation’s economic growth and digital technology-led diversification.
“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 decarbonized water and electricity system,” stated Al Ali.
