Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC), a key entity in the integrated planning and supply of water and electricity in the UAE, has announced the renewal of its clean energy partnership with Mediclinic Middle East for a third consecutive year. Under the extended agreement, EWEC will continue to supply 100% clean energy to all Mediclinic facilities in Abu Dhabi, verified through Clean Energy Certificates (CECs) issued by the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DoE).
This renewed collaboration highlights EWEC’s commitment to accelerating the adoption of clean energy across vital sectors, including healthcare. Mediclinic Middle East, part of the global Mediclinic Group, operates seven hospitals and nearly 30 clinics across the UAE. By sourcing its electricity through CECs, the healthcare provider is actively reducing Scope 2 emissions from its Abu Dhabi operations—underscoring the critical link between environmental sustainability and public health. Francois Brice, Executive Director of Commercial and Fuel Management at EWEC, said, “We are witnessing strong and growing interest from national corporations to adopt clean energy consumption and reduce their emissions, aligning with national climate targets. The extension of our collaboration with Mediclinic Middle East highlights their leadership in decarbonizing operations in the healthcare sector. Clean Energy Certificates enable organizations to accurately account for Scope 2 emissions reductions, enhancing sustainability reporting. We look forward to enabling more institutions to adopt clean energy and achieve their long-term sustainability goals.”
Hein van Eck, Chief Executive Officer of Mediclinic Middle East, commented, “As a healthcare provider, Mediclinic Middle East firmly believes that the health of our planet is inseparable from the health of its people. Sustainability is not just a value, it is a core pillar of our purpose to enhance the quality of life. We are proud to reaffirm our commitment to environmental stewardship by partnering once again with EWEC to power our Abu Dhabi operations with 100 per cent clean electricity. This decisive move underscores our dedication to reducing our carbon footprint and actively contributing to the UAE’s ambitious climate goals. By aligning with national and global sustainability targets, we are not only safeguarding the environment but also shaping a resilient, future-ready healthcare eco-system. Mediclinic is proud to stand at the forefront of the UAE’s journey toward a net-zero, sustainable future.”
