Adnoc Gas inked a USD 10 bn flexible natural gas supply agreement with Emirates Water and Electricity Company (Ewec) during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2025, according to a company statement(pdf). The 10-year natural gas sales and purchase agreement will see Adnoc Gas supplying plants in Abu Dhabi and the wider country.

The details: The supply agreement is meant to help Ewec maintain a stable supply of power to “complement and enable the large-scale integration of solar power” in its electricity system as it works to transition to cleaner energy solutions. Gas-fired plants are designed to rapidly start, stop, and adjust output in response to real-time demand and supply changes, which in Ewec’s case will help provide flexibility during peak demand periods, according to the statement.

REMEMBER- Ewec is actively seeking renewable energy partnerships to support the country’s net zero ambitions, and issued a request earlier this month for proposals for the development of a 1.5 GW Al Zarraf solar plant in Abu Dhabi’s Al Dhafra region. The company secured approvals for this project and three other renewable energy projects in the emirate last month. The projects include two more solar plants in Al Faya and Al Khazna, alongside a wind farm in Sila, which will contribute 4.5 GW of solar capacity and up to 140 MW of wind capacity to the emirate’s energy mix.
