Etihad Water and Electricity (EtihadWE) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ePointZero to explore new power generation projects and support the UAE’s clean energy transition.
ePointZero is a global investment platform focused on delivering end-to-end solutions across the energy value chain and a subsidiary of the International Holding Company (IHC) group
By expanding its energy portfolio, EtihadWE intends to improve the reliability, efficiency, and sustainability of the power network serving the region. The partnership will focus on projects under EtihadWE’s Self-Generation Program, including gas, renewables, and battery storage solutions.

“This MoU represents a significant step toward advancing a more reliable and sustainable power system across the Emirates. Through this collaboration, we aim to enhance efficiency, drive decarbonization, and ensure a stable energy supply for future generations. Partnering with ePointZero combines innovation and expertise to deliver tangible benefits to our customers and communities.”
Mohamed Hesham, CEO of ePointZero, noted that, “Our collaboration with EtihadWE represents an important step toward building greater energy resilience across the region. Together, we will build a new model for how generation, storage, and transmission can work in sync — one that strengthens local capacity while enabling sustainable growth for the communities we serve.”
The projects will be led by EtihadWE’s subsidiary, Emirates Utilities Development Company (EUDC), which develops and manages infrastructure projects across the region.
“Once detailed feasibility studies and due diligence are completed, the partnership may progress to a Joint Development Agreement, formalizing investment and implementation arrangements,” as per the statement.
