Since 1971, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has relied on its large oil and natural gas resources to support its economy. Rapid economic and demographic growth over the past decade pushed the UAE’s electricity grid to its limits. The country is planning to add nuclear, renewable, and coal-fired electricity generating capacity to accommodate rising demand. For the past few years, the UAE has been investing significantly in renewable technologies to diversify its power mix.
