EWEC signed a new 15-year Power Purchase Agreement with TAQA, ENGIE, and Sumitomo for the Shuweihat 1 (S1) plant in Al Dhafra, UAE. The project will reconfigure S1 from a cogeneration plant to a 1.1 GW natural gas-fired open-cycle power plant, providing flexible reserve power to support renewable energy integration, with operations starting in 2027. Water desalination will be decommissioned to align with EWEC’s energy transition goals. The move supports the UAE's net-zero ambitions and EWEC’s target of generating over 50% of Abu Dhabi’s electricity from clean sources by 2030.
