ADNEC Group announced its 2025 environmental, social and governance report on 29 September 2026, describing changes in energy procurement alongside plans for on-site solar generation. Emirates News Agency reported that the group, a Modon company, had extended its clean electricity arrangements with Emirates Water and Electricity Company to ADNEC Centre Al Ain. The announcement says clean electricity is verified through International Renewable Energy Certificates issued by the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy. These procurement arrangements and the planned rooftop installation are separate parts of the group’s energy programme, with different evidence and delivery status.

The rooftop project at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi has a stated peak capacity of 5 MWp. Its expected annual generation is approximately 8.57 million kilowatt-hours, equivalent to 8.57 gigawatt-hours, and the group expects it to meet nearly 30% of the venue’s electricity demand. The release describes development progress rather than a completed operating year. Generation and demand coverage are therefore projections, not measured annual results from an already operating installation. Peak capacity measures the size of the solar system; yearly energy measures production over time. The two should remain separate when comparing projects or compiling an energy dataset.

For the 2025 reporting period, the announcement also records a 39% fall in carbon intensity per employee and a 47% reduction in water intensity per visitor. It says absolute greenhouse gas emissions declined, but WAM’s account does not quantify that absolute change. Intensity indicators have denominators that can move with staffing and visitor numbers, so they cannot be treated as the same percentage reduction in total emissions or water use. These distinctions matter for interpreting a growing events business. ADNEC reported more than 6.3 million visitors and more than 1,149 events across its global venues, while its UAE economic contribution was put at AED 9.2 billion in gross value added.

The updated decarbonisation roadmap targets net zero for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030 and all scopes by 2045. These dates are company targets, not evidence that the emissions balance has already reached zero. The September announcement concerns a report covering 2025; it should not be read as a new measurement of operations throughout 2026. For readers following delivery, the next useful evidence will include the solar system’s commissioning date, actual generation and consistently defined annual emissions totals. Separating procurement certificates, planned production and measured operational indicators makes the update more useful for tracking progress over successive reporting periods.
