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.
