The United Arab Emirates, an oil-rich Gulf state, has announced the completion of the first nuclear power plant in the Arab world, calling it a significant step for both the country and the region.

Once fully operational with the activation of the fourth reactor, the Barakah nuclear power plant in Abu Dhabi will cover a quarter of the country’s electricity needs, generating 40 TW of electricity annually, equivalent to New Zealand’s yearly electricity consumption.

The first of four reactors began operation in 2020, and the Emirati president, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, welcomed the completion of the project.

“We will continue to prioritize energy security and sustainability for the benefit of our nation and our people today and tomorrow,” the UAE leader posted on X. The country also hosts one of the largest solar power plants in the world in the suburbs of Abu Dhabi.
