The Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ADCCI) has signed a Unified Framework Agreement (UFA) with Abu Dhabi Energy Services (ADES) in order to rationalize energy consumption and enhance environmental sustainability.
The deal intends to enhance cooperation between both entities in the areas of environmental sustainability, improve energy efficiency, and rationalize water and electricity consumption through the retrofitting of the Abu Dhabi Chamber’s buildings in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain with energy efficiency measures.
ADES, a subsidiary of TAQA Group, signed the agreement with the Abu Dhabi Chamber on the sidelines of the ‘Sustainable Buildings & RetrofitTech Summit’ in Abu Dhabi.

“The partnership agreement is in line with the directives of both the Abu Dhabi Chamber and ADES to maintain a sustainable environment at the local level. It’s also consistent with the government’s tireless efforts to improve energy management and efficiency through the optimal use of resources and rationalizing water and electricity consumption in the Emirate, in a way that contributes to meeting the objectives of the Abu Dhabi DSM & Energy Rationalization Strategy 2030, and achieving the aspirations of the UAE Net Zero 2050 strategy.”
“The announcement of the UFA with the Abu Dhabi Chamber is the culmination of united efforts, reflecting our joint commitment to achieving the goals of environmental sustainability and improving energy efficiency in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi,” Al Qubaisi added.
The UFA, which was recently approved by the Department of Energy – Abu Dhabi in coordination with the Department of Finance – Abu Dhabi, provides a comprehensive approach, integrating the objectives of the Abu Dhabi Demand Side Management and Energy Rationalization (DSM) Strategy 2030, signaling the commencement of the Government Buildings Retrofits Program.
