Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant
The Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant is located in the Al Dhafra of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi on the Arabian Gulf, approximately 53 km west-southwest of Al Dhannah City. The Plant’s four APR1400 design nuclear reactors produce 40TWh annually which is equivalent to around 25% of the UAE’s electricity needs.
The Barakah Plant is the UAE’s largest source of electricity, with every megawatt generated being produced carbon-free.
The Barakah Plant is an important part of the UAE’s efforts to diversify its energy sources, providing clean and efficient energy to industries, homes, businesses and government facilities while reducing the nation’s carbon footprint. The Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant prevents up to 22.4 million tons of carbon emissions every year, equivalent to removing 4.8 million cars from the roads.
