The Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant’s Unit 4 facility has been connected to the UAE power grid and is now months away from full operation as it finishes testing.
When the final examination phase is completed, Barakah’s Unit 4 is expected to contribute 1,400 megawatts to the country’s non-carbon energy capacity and 25% of the country’s electricity needs for the next 60 years.
Commercial operations at Barakah’s Unit 1 started in April 2021.
