ADNOC and Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC (TAQA) have signed a 27-year Utilities Purchase Agreement to support large-scale chemicals production at the TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone in Ruwais Industrial City, Abu Dhabi.
Under the long-term agreement, ADNOC and TAQA will jointly develop and operate a central utilities platform supplying electricity grid connections, steam, cooling, water, and wastewater services essential for TA’ZIZ’s chemicals and transition-fuels projects. The contract covers both construction of the utilities facilities and long-term offtake, providing a stable infrastructure backbone for the industrial zone.
TA’ZIZ, a joint venture between ADNOC and ADQ, will establish and own a dedicated service management company that will act as the sole offtaker of utilities. This structure is designed to ensure reliability, efficiency, and cost stability for tenants operating within the TA’ZIZ ecosystem.
The agreement represents a major milestone for Abu Dhabi’s industrial strategy, reinforcing the UAE’s push to expand downstream manufacturing and industrial diversification. TA’ZIZ is expected to produce around 4.7 million tonnes per year of locally manufactured chemicals from 2028, including methanol, low-carbon ammonia, PVC, ethylene dichloride, vinyl chloride monomer, and caustic soda.
Executives from both companies highlighted the project’s role in strengthening the UAE’s industrial base, supporting economic diversification, and delivering world-class, sustainable infrastructure to position Ruwais as a global hub for chemicals and transition-fuels manufacturing.
