His Excellency Eng. Awaidha Murshed Al Marar, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy<\/a> (DoE), asserted that commencing operations at the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant with the first MW entering the UAE\u2019s power grid is a strategic step towards diversifying the energy mix, promoting clean energy, and ensuring sustainability in key sectors across the UAE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLaunching operations at the Barakah plant \u2013 the first Arab peaceful nuclear power plant \u2013 demonstrates the UAE\u2019s ability to execute pioneering global projects, guided by the vision of its wise leadership and with the hard work and dedication of Emirati scientists and specialists,\u201d H.E. added. \u201cDay after day, the UAE <\/a>is cementing its status as a leading contributor to international efforts to curb climate change with pragmatic steps on the ground. This, in turn, supports the country\u2019s aspirations to play a greater role in achieving global sustainable development goals and protecting the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClean energy generated at the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant helps cut CO2<\/sub> emissions by nearly 21 million tonnes, supporting the DoE<\/a>\u2019s efforts to benefit from other clean energy sources such as green hydrogen. It also helps enhance security of future energy supplies, develop the Abu Dhabi energy sector and its contributions towards the UAE <\/a>Energy Strategy 2050, and allow the UAE <\/a>to meet its global climate commitments,\u201d the DoE <\/a>Chairman explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Barakah Nuclear Power Plant creates new prospects for the emirate and the country\u2019s economy<\/a> by meeting energy demand from key developmental sectors and attracting investments,\u201d H.E. Al Marar continued. \u201cThis complements the DoE<\/a>\u2019s strategic role to promote energy efficiency and draft policies and regulations to ensure the development of the Abu Dhabi energy sector, enhance sustainability, and drive progress and prosperity in every sector.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
