EWEC and Mediclinic Middle East Renew Clean Energy Partnership for Fourth Consecutive Year

EWEC (Emirates Water and Electricity Company), a leading company in the integrated planning, purchasing, supply and system despatch services of water and electricity across the UAE, has extended its clean energy partnership with Mediclinic Middle East for a fourth consecutive year. The agreement ensures that 100 per cent of Mediclinic’s Abu Dhabi and Al Ain Hospitals and Clinics will continue to be powered by clean electricity, verified using Clean Energy Certificates (CECs) issued by the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DoE).

The renewed agreement highlights EWEC’s ongoing success in facilitating the widespread transition to renewable and clean energy across Abu Dhabi’s critical industries. Operating six hospitals and more than 27 clinics nationwide, Mediclinic Middle East, a division of the global Mediclinic Group, provides world-class healthcare while championing environmental stewardship. By deploying CECs to tangibly lower its Scope 2 emissions in Abu Dhabi, the organisation is demonstrating a profound understanding that the health of our environment directly impacts the health of our communities.

This partnership highlights the importance of science-led, measurable climate action. By relying on the robust, data-driven framework of the CEC scheme, EWEC and Mediclinic Middle East are championing evidence-based decarbonisation decisions that benefit both people and the planet.

Mohamed Almarzooqi, Chief Assets Officer at EWEC, said: “Mediclinic Middle East has helped pioneer the healthcare sector’s clean energy transition in Abu Dhabi from the outset, becoming the first healthcare institution to adopt Clean Energy Certificates, and the extension of this partnership for a fourth consecutive year reflects their continued leadership. Through CECs, organisations can turn climate ambition into measurable outcomes, reduce Scope 2 emissions with confidence, and demonstrate clear progress against sustainability goals using an internationally recognised standard.”

Hein van Eck, Chief Executive Officer of Mediclinic Middle East, said: “As a leading healthcare provider, we recognise that the health of our communities is intrinsically linked to the health of our environment. Renewing our clean energy partnership with EWEC for a fourth consecutive year underscores our unwavering commitment to sustainable operations. By verifying our clean electricity consumption through CECs, we are taking tangible, science-led action to reduce our carbon footprint and set a benchmark for environmental responsibility within the regional healthcare sector.”

Issued by the DoE, CECs are the only accredited instrument in Abu Dhabi for certifying the environmental and economic benefits of clean electricity consumption in line with the internationally recognised International Renewable Energy Certificate Standard (I-REC Standard). As the Single Registrant and Auction Operator, EWEC facilitates the adoption of renewable and clean energy across diverse sectors, including healthcare, digital infrastructure, retail, hospitality and heavy industry, enabling participants to transform their environmental impact and meet rigorous international ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards.
