Madinat Zayed Independent Power Producer (IPP) Project

The Madinat Zayed Independent Power Producer (IPP) project is an Open-Cycle Gas Turbine (OCGT) plant, located in the Madinat Zayed area, approximately 120 kilometres Southwest of Abu Dhabi City.

The project will provide transitional capacity to support the accelerated integration of renewable energy into the system. Gas-fired plants like Madinat Zayed are key to ensuring a reliable energy supply while the country transitions to a decarbonised water and electricity system.

Expected to begin commercial operations in Q3 2027, Madinat Zayed will provide up to 1.5 gigawatts of backup generation, which can be operational at very short notice.
