The Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) and Abu Dhabi Waste Management Center (Tadweer) have launched a request for expression of interest seeking a private partner for the development of a greenfield Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Independent Power Project (IPP). The WtE plant, to be located near the existing Al Dhafra landfill in Abu Dhabi, will have an expected processing capacity between 600,000 and 900,000 tonnes of waste per year and will generate enough electricity to power up to 22,500 UAE households.

WtE plant is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 1.5 million tonnes per year. The project will involve the financing, construction, operation, and maintenance of the WtE plant that will use advanced moving grate technology to convert municipal solid waste into electricity via a high-efficiency steam turbine generator set.

The deadline to submit the interest is February 11, 2021. You can find more information about this RFEOI on our business opportunity page here.
