Taweelah C Independent Power Producer (IPP) Project

Taweelah C is a new Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) project, that will primarily provide transitional capacity to support the integration of renewable energy projects and to provide additional flexibility during peak power demand.

Located in the Al Taweelah Power and Desalination Complex, approximately 50 kilometres to the Northeast of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the plant is expected to reach commercial operations in Q3 2028. At full capacity, Taweelah C’s efficient natural-gas turbine technology will generate up to 2.5 gigawatts (AC).

As an Independent Power Producer (IPP) project, the successful developer or developer consortium will own up to 40 per cent of the entity. The remaining equity will be held indirectly by the Abu Dhabi Government.
