Video: Timelapse of Enec nuclear power plant construction

The UAE’s first two nuclear power plants, currently under construction, are expected to be fully operational by 2020.

Along with another two due for construction, the four plants are expected to produce 5,600 megawatts of nuclear energy - 25 per cent of the UAE’s energy - by 2020. This will save the UAE 12 million tonnes in greenhouse gas emissions every year.
