The Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DoE) signed agreements with several government entities during Adipec aimed at enhancing collaboration, data integration, and regulatory oversight across the Emirate’s energy sector.
The Service Level Agreements (SLA) cover a
broad spectrum ranging from enhancing secure electronic data exchange,
regulatory integration, and safety oversight, to operational efficiency.
These partnerships establish frameworks for
digital integration and data exchange across petroleum product trading and
management, building permitting, environmental licensing, and transport
regulation.
Ahmed Al Rumaithi, Undersecretary of the
Abu Dhabi Department of Energy, said: “At ADIPEC 2025, we demonstrated our
commitment to driving Abu Dhabi’s energy transformation where the future is
built on innovation, collaboration, and digital excellence. These agreements set
a new benchmark for safety, efficiency, and regulatory integration, creating
the foundation for a smarter and more secure energy future for the Emirate.”
He added: “Abu Dhabi’s energy sector transformation
journey is built on creating a more flexible and proactive system that can
effectively respond to future changes and the Emirate’s rapid pace of growth.
Today, we continue to strengthen Abu Dhabi’s position as a leading hub for
advanced data management and operational excellence by fostering strategic
partnerships that enhance the efficiency and readiness of the entire energy
ecosystem.”
Under an SLA with the Ministry of Energy
and Infrastructure (MoEI), the two entities will introduce seamless and secure
electronic data sharing for petroleum trading permits and company registration,
while maintaining confidentiality and protecting intellectual property.
The agreement aims to streamline procedures
and enhance coordination between federal and local entities.
Saif Ghubash, Assistant Undersecretary for
the Petroleum, Gas and Mineral Resources Sector at the Ministry of Energy and
Infrastructure, said: “This agreement represents a strategic step that enhances
the operational framework of the energy and petroleum products sector at a
national level. It supports the objectives of 'We the UAE 2031' vision and the
UAE Energy Strategy 2050 by establishing an integrated model for data exchange
between federal and local entities to improve performance efficiency,
accelerate service delivery, and ensure the highest standards of safety and
sustainability.”
He added: “The digital integration between
the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and the Abu Dhabi Department of
Energy represents a key advancement in the management and permitting of
petroleum product trading. It enables unified processes and precise, efficient
data exchange, enhancing governance and transparency across the sector.”
He also noted that the agreement serves as
a model for institutional integration and digitalisation, helping empower the
energy sector to keep pace with transformation, advance the nation’s efforts
toward net-zero targets, and enhance resource efficiency within a safe and
sustainable energy ecosystem.
Through an SLA with Abu Dhabi Quality and
Conformity Council (QCC), both organisations will integrate digital systems to
share personnel conformity certificates and petroleum permits. T
his ensures consistency in standards,
improves data accuracy, and reduces administrative timelines.
Fahad Al Shamsi, Acting Secretary General
of the Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council, commented: “The partnership
between the Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council and the Department of
Energy during ADIPEC 2025 embodies the vision of the Emirate’s government to
build an integrated digital ecosystem that promotes institutional collaboration
and enhances operational efficiency.
Through this collaboration, the integration
of both entities’ digital systems enables the real-time and secure exchange of
conformity certificates and petroleum product permits, facilitating
standardised processes, faster service delivery, and improved data accuracy. By
fostering these partnerships, the Council continues to play a pivotal role in driving
Abu Dhabi’s digital transformation and enabling government entities to deliver
smarter, more efficient services in line with our leadership’s vision of a progressive
digital government and a sustainable, innovation-driven economy.”
Finally, the SLA with Adnoc Distribution will
enable both parties to connect data systems for petroleum permits issuance and
verification of contract numbers and trade licences via the DoE platform.
Adnoc retains full ownership of its data
under this agreement, ensuring confidentiality and integrity.
By advancing Abu Dhabi’s vision for a fully
integrated digital energy ecosystem, these partnerships redefine how
institutions share data, enforce standards, and manage resources.
Aligned with the Emirate’s digital
government and sustainability strategies, they reinforce data integrity,
regulatory compliance, intellectual property protection, and inter-agency
coordination.
Ahmed Al Sheebani, Acting Director General of Regulatory Affairs at the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy, said: “During ADIPEC 2025, the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy reaffirmed its leadership in developing an integrated regulatory framework for the petroleum products sector to ensure supply security and the highest standards of service for consumers. We seek to attract investors by advancing a digital ecosystem that enables secure and real-time data exchange between entities, enhancing operational efficiency, fostering smart governance and innovation, and supporting the development of a sustainable, future-ready energy sector that aligns with the vision of our wise leadership.” -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
