TAQA, EMSTEEL to explore integrated utilities infrastructure for Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi: TAQA Distribution, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA), inked deal with EMSTEEL Group to explore integrated utilities infrastructure for Abu Dhabi’s industrial sector.

The deal, signed at the World Utilities Congress 2025, focuses on boosting efficiency and reliability in power and water services as the emirate accelerates its industrial growth plans.

Under the agreement, the two companies will evaluate opportunities for developing and managing power and water networks tailored to industrial clients. This includes fast-tracked integration with existing infrastructure, cost-effective maintenance, and rapid technical team deployment—areas in which TAQA Distribution has built a strong performance record.

Omar Al Hashmi, CEO of TAQA Distribution, said the partnership is aligned with Abu Dhabi’s push to build scalable, future-ready utilities infrastructure. “By combining our operational strengths with EMSTEEL’s manufacturing expertise, we aim to contribute to a more competitive and resilient industrial base in Abu Dhabi,” he said.

EMSTEEL, one of the region’s largest publicly listed steel and building materials companies, is looking to expand operations and enhance service capabilities across its facilities. Group CEO Eng. Saeed Ghumran Al Remeithi said, “Reliable utilities are core to our growth. TAQA’s technical depth makes them an ideal partner as we scale up our industrial footprint.”

The collaboration is expected to support the Abu Dhabi Industrial Strategy, which aims to attract Dh10 billion in investment, double manufacturing output to Dh172 billion by 2031, create 13,600 skilled jobs, and boost non-oil exports.

TAQA Distribution has been actively expanding its network of strategic partnerships. Earlier this year, it teamed up with Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) to launch a digital utilities billing platform for Al Maryah and Al Reem Islands. The company’s TQD+ platform continues to offer custom-designed utility services to support the growing infrastructure needs of Abu Dhabi’s urban and industrial communities.
