    • UAE completes nuclear plant; to generate 25% of country’s electricity needs

    By on September 6, 2024

    The United Arab Emirates on Thursday announced the completion of the Arab world’s first nuclear power plant, which will produce 40 terawatt-hours of electricity annually after its fourth and final reactor has entered commercial operation.

    Abu Dhabi’s Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant will generate 25 percent of the electricity needs of the Gulf state – nearly the equivalent of New Zealand’s annual consumption, the state-owned Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) said in a statement. The station will power companies including the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), one of the world’s biggest oil producers, Emirates Steel and Emirates Global Aluminium, ENEC said.

    Emirati President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan hailed Barakah’s completion as a “significant step on the journey towards net zero”. “We will continue to prioritise energy security and sustainability for the benefit of our nation and our people today and tomorrow,” he said in a post on social media platform X.
