TAQA Transmission has appointed Turner & Townsend to provide programme management consultancy services to support the retirement of a power generating plant in Abu Dhabi. Located in the east of Abu Dhabi, the power generating plant has a capacity of 1640MW and 1200MVAr, and will be decommissioned in 2029, according to Turner & Townsend.
Taking its place will be an upgraded energy efficient plant that will be developed with a focus on integrating solar and nuclear power into the network, further aiding decarbonisation of the UAE’s energy sector.
“In our role as programme management consultant, we are thrilled to be helping TAQA Transmission in delivering its future-fit energy infrastructure,” said Tarek Hamade, Regional Lead, Natural Resources, Middle East at Turner & Townsend.
He added, “Following the pending retirement of the plant, a large-scale project such as this demands innovative delivery models to achieve optimal performance.”
Turner & Townsend says that it will establish a Programme Management Office (PMO) and provide strategic support to expand and facilitate a comprehensive and sustainable upgrade of the power transmission and distribution infrastructure in the region. This will enable the construction of new grid and switching stations and substations, cable corridors and cable works, capacitor banks and high voltage overhead lines.
TAQA Transmission said that it aims to meet the UAE’s rapidly growing and evolving energy demands by embracing innovation and new technologies to ensure the region’s networks remain sustainable and fit for the future.
“We look forward to working with TAQA Tranmission on this groundbreaking clean energy transmission project, creating a more sustainable environment for all and ensuring a reliable and efficient supply of power across Abu Dhabi and its surroundings,” Hamade concluded.
