Abu Dhabi, UAE – In a landmark move toward smart city living, TAQA Distribution has signed an exclusive agreement with Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) to launch a fully digital, unified billing system for over 16,000 residents across Al Maryah and Al Reem Islands. This innovative partnership streamlines the payment of tenancy-related fees alongside utility bills—transforming the way residents manage their monthly expenses.
A New Era of Convenience in Utility Management
For thousands of residents in two of Abu Dhabi’s most prominent residential areas, bill payments are about to become much easier. Through the collaboration between TAQA Distribution and ADGM, tenants can now pay rent, service charges, and other tenancy-related fees in the same digital platform as their electricity and water bills.
This integrated solution is not just a technological upgrade—it’s a lifestyle upgrade. It reflects Abu Dhabi’s commitment to becoming a smarter, more connected, and more efficient city.
What Is TAQA Distribution?
TAQA Distribution is the customer-facing arm of the Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA), which consolidated Abu Dhabi Distribution Company (ADDC) and Al Ain Distribution Company (AADC) in 2024. The rebranding was a strategic step aimed at providing streamlined, high-quality utility services across the emirate.
Since then, TAQA Distribution has been at the forefront of digital transformation, smart metering, and sustainable energy management, delivering innovation to both individual consumers and businesses.
Why This Partnership Matters
The partnership with ADGM is more than a technical collaboration—it’s a smart infrastructure milestone. Here’s why it’s significant:
✅ Unified Digital Platform
Residents will use a single interface to manage all their monthly financial obligations—no more separate platforms for rent, service charges, and utilities.
✅ Enhanced Transparency
The digital solution provides clear itemization of all payments, improving transparency and minimizing billing disputes.
✅ Seamless User Experience
With a few clicks, tenants can view, track, and pay bills through a streamlined, user-friendly platform—whether via desktop or mobile.
✅ Smart City Support
This system aligns with Abu Dhabi’s broader smart city goals and helps integrate IoT, AI, and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) into daily urban living.
How This Impacts Al Maryah and Al Reem Island Residents
Both islands are among Abu Dhabi’s most dynamic residential zones. With their luxury high-rises, waterfront views, and urban lifestyle offerings, they attract professionals and families seeking premium city living.
This billing solution further elevates their appeal by offering:
- Frictionless bill payments
- Better budgeting tools
- Time-saving digital convenience
- Sustainable living through smart consumption monitoring
Supporting the UAE’s Sustainability Goals
The move is also a key contributor to Abu Dhabi’s Demand Side Management and Energy Rationalization Strategy, which targets:
- A 22% reduction in electricity consumption
- A 32% reduction in water consumption
—by 2030.
Through the integration of real-time usage tracking and smarter billing, residents will be more empowered to monitor and manage their resource use—benefiting both their wallets and the environment.
What’s Next?
Starting January 2025, residents will begin seeing the new TAQA Distribution branding on their bills. The rollout of this unified digital billing system will gradually cover all applicable households, and customer support teams will assist in the transition.
For landlords, property managers, and tenants, this also means:
- Fewer administrative hurdles
- Fewer payment errors
- A more responsive and tech-forward living experience
Final Thoughts
This collaboration between TAQA Distribution and ADGM marks a major leap in Abu Dhabi’s journey toward sustainable, efficient, and intelligent urban living. It represents a tangible improvement in how people interact with essential services—and sets a new standard for utility management in the region.
Whether you’re a resident of Al Reem Island or planning to move into Al Maryah’s vibrant community, this new system ensures your day-to-day living is more connected and convenient than ever.
