As a returning Strategic Sponsor of WETEX 2026, EWEC will demonstrate the advanced technologies and gigascale infrastructure projects enabling a sustainable and resilient water and energy future
EWEC (Emirates Water and Electricity Company), a leading company in the integrated coordination of planning, purchasing, supply, and system despatch services for water and electricity across the UAE, is participating in the 28th edition of the Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition (WETEX) as a Strategic Sponsor. As a long-standing partner and exhibitor, EWEC has consistently supported WETEX as a global platform for advancing sustainable energy innovation.
EWEC will demonstrate how its strategic long-term planning is translating into delivery: by 2035, more than 60 per cent of Abu Dhabi's electricity is forecast to come from sustainable sources and reverse osmosis (RO) to account for 92 per cent of installed water capacity, securing a resilient water and electricity future for the UAE.
EWEC is integrating advanced generation and desalination technologies at the unprecedented scale required to meet the UAE's rising demand. At WETEX, EWEC will detail the technical execution of this transition through a world-leading portfolio spanning some of the largest utility-scale solar photovoltaic plants globally, advanced battery energy storage systems, and one of the largest low-carbon-intensive RO desalination facilities in the world. The EWEC leadership team will extend this technical discussion into the exhibition's seminar programme, addressing grid stability, water system resilience, solar power development, and EWEC's upcoming projects.
Mohamed Almarzooqi, Chief Assets Officer of EWEC, said: "Demand for water and electricity across the UAE continues to rise, and new sources of demand are emerging. EWEC strategically plans and procures transformative water and electricity capacity years ahead of need. At WETEX, we will not only outline our strategic roadmap, but we will actively showcase the latest technological advancements and existing deployments across our reverse osmosis and solar PV infrastructure. Executing a systemic energy transition of this magnitude can only be achieved by cultivating deep, strategic collaboration with all our stakeholders. Therefore, we highly encourage industry partners and developers to visit our stand and engage with our technical experts to explore how we are shaping a secure, cost-efficient, and sustainable energy sector for the nation."
EWEC will also hold dedicated sessions on Clean Energy Certificates (CECs), a globally recognised mechanism for verifying renewable and clean electricity consumption. As Single Registrant and Scheme Operator, EWEC issues the certificates that allow organisations across the UAE to substantiate their renewable and clean electricity use and reduce their Scope 2 emissions.
Through the scheme and the projects, which will be presented at WETEX 2026, EWEC is supporting the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy's Clean Energy Strategic Target 2035 for Electricity Production in Abu Dhabi, the UAE Water Security Strategy 2036 and the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategy.
