One of the responsibilities of the Licensing and Compliance section at the DoE is to grant licenses to entities and individuals authorising them to conduct and engage in a wide range of regulated activities and to supervise the manner in which such regulated activities are undertaken.

The license may be issued for a specific activity or multiple activities, which can be conducted in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

The following is a list of the regulated activities that must be carried out under the Licence issued by the Department of Energy:

• Generation, storage, transmission, distribution, supply, sale and purchase of electricity of all types (clean, renewable, traditional).
• Production, treatment, desalination, storage, transmission, distribution, supply, sale and purchase of water.
• Collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater, and wastes, as well as recycling the by-products of wastewater treatment.
