“As the world shifts to cleaner sources of energy and a decarbonized economy, the UAE net-zero initiative will provide us with precision and boost our efforts to accelerate the energy transition while contributing to the fight against climate change.
“Over more than a decade, Abu Dhabi has achieved remarkable results in deploying clean energy and implementing energy efficiency measures – two fundamental components of our energy transition and key to achieving national climate mitigation and sustainable development goals. For instance, with our solar PV projects, including the flagship 1,177 MW Noor Abu Dhabi and the 2GW Al Dhafrasingle-site solar PV plant as well as the Barakah peaceful nuclear power plant, we expect the emirate’s electricity in 2025 to be almost 7% from solar and 47% from nuclear. This means, in just five years Abu Dhabi will be producing almost 55% of its electricity from clean sources, halving the CO2 emissions associated with the power sector.
