World Utilities Congress
Brings together senior leaders to translate energy transition and water security ambitions into delivery — advancing grid modernisation, system resilience, and scalable partnership models.
Abu Dhabi Water & Power Week convenes the leaders responsible for delivering the next generation of energy and water infrastructure. At a time of rising demand, system complexity, and accelerating transition, the week brings together policymakers, utilities, investors, and technology leaders to address one critical question: how to build systems that are secure, sustainable, and built for scale.
Abu Dhabi Water & Power Week is a strategic platform launched by the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy to advance the integration of water and power systems at scale. It reflects Abu Dhabi’s role as a global testbed for policy innovation, infrastructure delivery, and long-term planning across the utilities sector. Bringing together the full value chain, the week focuses on aligning policy, investment, and technology to accelerate delivery — moving beyond ambition to implementation.
Global utilities are entering a new phase of complexity. Electricity demand is rising sharply, driven by industrial growth, electrification, and digital infrastructure. At the same time, water systems are under increasing pressure from population growth, climate stress, and resource constraints. These challenges are no longer separate. Power generation depends on water. Water systems depend on energy. The future will be defined by how effectively these systems are planned, financed, and operated together.
Abu Dhabi Water & Power Week is designed to address this convergence — bringing clarity to the interdependencies shaping the next decade of infrastructure investment.
To establish a globally recognised platform that advances the integration of energy and water systems — driving innovation, unlocking scalable investment, and enabling coordinated policy action.
To position Abu Dhabi as the global capital for energy and water innovation — shaping how integrated systems are developed, financed, and delivered at scale.
Energy and water systems are entering a period of accelerated transformation. Global electricity demand is projected to grow by 3–4% annually this decade, driven by electrification, digital infrastructure, and the rapid expansion of AI.
