ADWEA Profile
Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA) is a public organization wholly owned by the Abu Dhabi government with a separate legal identity and financial & administrative independence. ADWEA is responsible for implementing government policy regarding water and electricity sector in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. ADWEA was established in March 1998 pursuant to Abu Dhabi Law No.2 of 1998 and replaced the former Water and Electricity Department (WED). The amendments to Law No.2 of 1998 became effective from July, 2007 with the issue of Law No. 19 of 2007. ADWEA determines all business relating to the formulation, development and implementation of the policy of the government in relation to the water and electricity sector in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, including all matters relating to the privatization of the water and electricity sector. ADWEA serves and supplies electricity and potable water to more than 1.5 million people (more than 39 per cent of the total population of the UAE) over an area of approximately 67,340 square kilometres (about 87 per cent of the total area of the UAE).

ADWEA Privatization Program


Eight IWPPs have been introduced on a build, own and operate (BOO) basis via joint venture arrangements between ADWEA and various international companies In each IWPP, ADWEA retains a 60% share holding while the remaining 40% share holding is owned by overseas private investors. All these IWPPs sell water and electricity from their production plant to the single buyer of the sector, ADWEC, under long-term Power and Water Purchase Agreements (PWPAs).

ADWEA Investment Arm: TAQA


TAQA Company was established in 2005 mainly to invest the shares of ADWEA in the IWPP's, of which ADWEA owns 51%, within its privatization program implemented in production sector.

Carbon Dioxide Emission Reduction


The UAE's CO2 emissions increased from 60,809,000 tonnes in 1990 to 94,163,000 tonnes in 2002. UAE has one of the highest per capita emission rates in the world [Source:ADNOC-2009]. This is also know from the Ecological Footprint. Due to better technology and transition to more natural gas in power plants, emissions of CO2 per capita have decreased. In 1990, the UAE emitted 32,6 tonnes CO2 per person per year. In 2002, the figure had dropped to 25,1 tonnes per person per year, leaving UAE as number 4 on the top emitter per capita global ranking list.

Monitoring of CO2 Emitted from ADWEAs facilities at Abu Dhabi Emirate


ADWEA is monitoring the CO2 emitted from power and desalination plants directly and indirectly, through: Applying emission monitors, that are operated and controlled by the operating companies. Seven ambient air quality monitoring stations are located in the vicinity of the power & desalination plants. These stations are operated and controlled by ADWEAs National Energy and Water Research Center. Indirectly monitoring and calculating carbon emission through monitoring the natural gas fuel consumption by each of ADWEAs power & desalination plant.

Transition to Renewable Energy Production Sources: Support Renewable Energy Policy in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi
ADWEA support the concept of the introduction of renewable energy strategies, in the Emirate of Abu Dhabis Water and Electricity Sector. In furtherance of such strategies, ADWEA in Conjunction with other entities will develop tariffs and adopt a multi-phased approach to technology selection in order to encourage and support the renewable energy companies to produce 5-7% of the required power capacity. Several Solar pilot projects are ongoing for technology selection and power and efficiency optimization purposes.

Remotely Control Power Consumption of District Street Lighting: Pilot Project


Using high technologies, the street lighting systems of districts can be dimmed during the day (almost after midnight). Pilot project is conducted over 50 sites in Al Ain city to remotely control power consumption by street lighting system. This results in power reduction of 30%, which indirectly reduce the carbon emission fro the power generation plants.

Summary
ADWEA is doing its best effort to adhere with the AD Climate Change Policy. Monitoring of carbon emission, air quality in the vicinity of power plants, natural gas fuel consumption, plant efficiency and system upgrading is ongoing process that ADWEA is carrying out. ADWEA support the AD renewable energy policy and ADWEA is working in conjunction with other entities on developing tariffs. ADWEA adopt a multi-phased approach to technology selection in order to encourage and support the renewable energy companies to produce 5-7% of the required power capacity. Several projects are implemented in pilot scales to reduce carbon emissions and to adopt renewable technologies as secondary energy green source.
