The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) has showcased the critical role of nuclear energy as a global climate change solution at the World Future Energy Summit (WFES), held in Abu Dhabi from 16-18 January 2023.
WFES is a key element of the 15th edition of the annual Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, the leading business event for energy and sustainability that brings together local and global leadership, industry experts and policymakers for inclusive action.
ENEC showcased the continued progress of the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant, a nation-defining strategic energy infrastructure project, which is spearheading efforts towards achieving UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 target by preventing millions of tons of carbon emissions annually. Today, the Barakah Plant is the largest source of clean electricity in the region.
ENEC’s commitment to international collaboration was further strengthened following the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the visit of President Yoon Suk Yeol of the Republic of Korea to the UAE.
