At TAQA Water Solutions, we give institutions and relevant entities reliable and precise information to meet regulatory requirements and raise awareness of the regulatory standards.
The Department of Energy (DOE) regulates the activities of the water, wastewater, and electricity sectors in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The DoE’s responsibility is defined as the Energy Sector Regulator, which outlines the regulatory framework and policies and the DOE grants a license to TAQA Water Solutions to carry out their activities in the authorized areas. Several government entities have been restructured to form a new infrastructure Regulator, the DOE, under Law No 11/2018. While TAQA Water Solutions is currently engaged in the licensed sewerage activities within the authorized area, certain other areas (primarily some of the ongoing real-estate developments) are being served through different licensing arrangements between the relevant entities and the Department of Energy.
The license sets out the conditions that TAQA Water Solutions must adhere to, to ensure the protection of the environment, secure public health, and serve the interests of customers.
Furthermore, TAQA Water Solutions must meet the requirements of other regulators, such as the Environment Agency of Abu Dhabi (EAD) and other government agencies.
DoE’s role is driving the emirate’s energy transition efforts with a clear focus on creating a sector that promotes economic growth and social development, and environmental sustainability.
