The project will closely follow the model of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi’s successful independent power project programme, where developers enter into a long-term agreement with EWEC as the sole procurer.
EWEC is supporting the government of Abu Dhabi and the government of the UAE by enabling the reduction of cost whilst also providing the increased security of supply that comes from a cleaner, larger, and more integrated system.
It follows EWEC’s recommendation made this time last year that the UAE should deploy 300MW/300MWh of BESS capacity by 2026. It didn’t reveal when it hoped the 400MW (MWh capacity undisclosed) would come online, so it’s not clear whether this is part of a longer-term target or whether its forecasted needs have increased.
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), a utility in the neighbouring Emirate of Dubai, is building a 250MW PHES plant for a reported 2024 operation.
A total of 93 companies and consortiums had submitted bids, while 27 companies and consortiums qualified for the RFP stage after submitting statements of qualification. The deadline for sending the bids has been set at Q4 2024.
