She also noted that the UAE is proud to be home to some of the world’s largest solar power plants, as well as the recently commissioned gigawatt-sized 24-hour solar and battery project. These initiatives, including the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant, which covers nearly 25 per cent of the country’s electricity needs, are indicative of the UAE’s commitment to achieving its strategy of reducing carbon emissions to zero by 2050.
Speaking on the further development of clean energy, the Minister emphasised the need for global cooperation and the UAE’s active participation in international partnerships to share knowledge and support developing countries in finding sustainable energy solutions.
