ADWEA 5-Year Electricity Planning Statement (2008-2012) update is based on the ADWEC’s base case peak demand forecast (most probable forecast scenario) for the Abu Dhabi Emirate. The base case peak system demand for Abu Dhabi Emirate will be expected to reach about 10,600MW in Year 2012. The estimated demand growth (2007-2012) excluding Mega Projects’ requirements is 7.6%. For
the same planning horizon, the estimated demand growth including Mega Projects is 14.8%. The demand requirements of the Mega Projects have significant influence on the updated load forecast model. As on May 2007, the demand outlook for the Northern Emirates (Fujairah & Ras Al Khaimah) is uncertain.

For the purpose of this 5-Year Planning Statement, it is assumed the peak system demand for Northern Emirates is non-firm and around 1,300MW for Year 2012.

The total system demand of Abu Dhabi Emirate & Northern Emirates including auxiliary loads & losses will be about 11,900MW in Year 2012. Based on the ADWEA’s updated statement of future generation capacity requirement (2007- 2012) inclusive Fujairah capacity, the total “available generation capacity” and “required generation capacity” is expected to be around 12,800MW and 12,500MW respectively in Year 2012.
