Adnoc offshore and ADPower have reported the issuance of a joint tender to develop and operate a state-of-the-art sub-sea transmission system so as to connect ADNOC offshore production facilities to ADPower’s onshore electricity grid. The high-voltage direct current (HVDC) framework is the principal project of its kind in the MENA area.
It is expected to lessen the carbon impression of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company’s offshore facilities by up to 30% through ADPower’s efficient onshore power production. The project likewise offers the potential for Adnoc offshore to more effectively utilise its rich gas – currently used to power the offshore facilities – for higher-value purposes, permitting Abu Dhabi National Oil Company to produce extra income for Abu Dhabi National Oil Company and Abu Dhabi.
This milestone project demonstrates the two entities’ commitment to continuously drive responsible and sustained investment and value creation for Abu Dhabi and the UAE, and support the ongoing development of the national economy in this complex and challenging period.
