EWEC and Tadweer issue RFP for Abu Dhabi Waste-to-Energy IPP. The RFP is being issued to selected bidders that submitted an Expression of Interest (EOI) and have completed the qualification process. A total of 109 companies and consortia had submitted EOIs.

The project's activities will comprehend the financing, construction, operation and maintenance of the WtE plant.

The successful developer will own up to 40% of the entity, while the remaining equity will be primarily held indirectly by the Abu Dhabi Government.

The WtE plant will convert municipal solid waste into electricity and it will be located near the existing Al Dhafra landfill in Abu Dhabi. It will have an expected processing capacity of 900,000 tonnes of waste per year and will generate enough electricity to power up to 52,500 households.

Chief Executive Officer of EWEC, Othman Al Ali, said: “We have seen significant interest in this strategic project following the expression of interest (EOI) phase and are delighted that, in partnership with Tadweer, we can now invite qualified companies to participate in the RFP”.
