The United Arab Emirates has licensed the third unit of its Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant, the UAE’s permanent representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Hamad Al Kaabi, told reporters on Friday.
Construction of the unit in Abu Dhabi’s Al Dhafra region was completed last year and it is on track to start up and deliver clean electricity in 2023, according to the UAE’s Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC).
