The third of the four Barakah plants has been connected to the UAE electricity grid, according to a statement from the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation. The Nawah Energy Company, which is in charge of running and maintaining the power plants, has also started producing the first megawatt of environmentally friendly electricity from the third of the four Barakah plants. Barakah.
The third plant in Barakah will add an additional 1,400 megawatts of carbon-free electricity to the nation’s grid once it is commercially operational, which is a crucial step toward ensuring energy security and sustainability in the United Arab Emirates and addressing climate change, two of the biggest problems facing the world today.
The Barakah stations are a key component of the nation’s strategy to achieve climate neutrality as they play a leading role in accelerating the reduction of the footprint with the commercial operation of the first and second stations in Barakah and the production of environmentally friendly electricity around the clock, and with the third station getting closer to commercial operation in the coming months. The UAE’s environmentally friendly energy portfolio, which also includes a number of carbon-free energy sources, is not complete without the nuclear energy sector, which guarantees the nation’s electrical network’s dependability, effectiveness, and flexibility for at least the next 60 years.
“We celebrate another proud moment for the UAE Peaceful Nuclear Energy Program, as the connection of the three Barakah Nuclear Energy Plants to the state’s electricity grid provides thousands of additional megawatts of environmentally friendly electricity to support all aspects and areas of life,” said Mohammed Al Jamadi, Managing Director and CEO of the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation, on this occasion.
In our society, the electricity generated by Barakah plants helps enable businesses in the UAE to receive clean energy certificates that give them a substantial competitive advantage in addition to preventing the burning of fossil fuels to produce electricity.

Al Hammadi continued, “We are proud of the work teams led by Emirati competencies who continue to work in support of the development of a carbon-neutral economy according to advanced levels of knowledge and expertise, and we appreciate the efforts of everyone who helped make these accomplishments a reality on the ground.
“The operating team will gradually increase the power level of the third plant reactor after connecting it to the state’s electricity grid, as part of what is known as the upward power test, in addition to conducting the necessary monitoring and tests until reaching the reactor’s maximum capacity, in preparation for commercial operation within a few months, with the commitment With all local regulatory requirements and the highest international sta
The four Barakah plants will help the UAE meet 25% of its promises to becoming climate neutral once they are fully operational, especially as they are the largest source of environmentally beneficial electricity that can be supplied across the network. The Barakah plants also demonstrate safe, effective, and competitive nuclear energy project development.
Nuclear energy helps reduce the carbon footprint of some of the most energy-intensive industries in an effort to reduce the rising carbon emissions and by generating eco-friendly electricity at the Barakah plants.
