    Construction work for the plant began in 2012 and has progressed steadily ever since. The facility will deliver clean, efficient and reliable electricity to the UAE grid for decades to come, catering to roughly 25 per cent of the country’s electricity requirements and preventing up to 21 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually — the equivalent of taking 3.2 million cars off the roads in a year Image Credit:

    The beginning of operations at the plant marks the point at which nuclear fission occurs, as part of the process towards generating clean electricity. This is a historic milestone for the UAE, as Enec works to deliver on the vision set by the country’s Leadership in 2008 to deliver a new form of clean, abundant electricity for the nation.
