UAE plugs in first nuclear power plant

[Type59]

I am impressed with this project as a whole , but for a small country , with small cities and a small population , i was not impressed with these plants only covering 25% of the energy consumption to be honest , then again, i am not expert on the matter

anyone know if these same plants can be made to produce more than 25% in the future ?

Project is huge. 5000mw generated by 4 reactors once completed.

UAE population is provided with cheap electricity, hence why per capita usage is high. If government raises prices to eliminate subsides, electricity usage will fall. Other way is energy conservation, the population needs the right mentality for that to succeed, unfortunately people love to waste electricity.

keep in mind that its Effing hot most of the year and we need fridges and air-cons on the whole time

but yes i agree , waste does take place ...

you never know , maybe one day we will export power to Pakistan and Pakistan can export fresh water to the UAE

we are sick of extra power

Pakistan’s unexpected dilemma: too much electricity

Large-scale construction of new power plants — largely coal-fired ones funded by China — has dramatically boosted energy capacity.

wow , this really is unexpected !

i think it was expected when thousands of MW power plants /dams/wind mills/solar power was installed day and night this was expected . still thousands of MW will be added every year i don't know what gov will do with it .
22387MW in in pipeline and pakistani public now dont wanna use it anymore as they learnt how to save electricity
we have 40000mw installed and 22387 mw in pipeline while pakistanis used 17000mn in winters and 32812 in summer june was recorded . lets see how gov get rid of extra power now .


upcoming are below
hydro

solid waste

solar

wind

nuclear

coal

gas

this could be a business opportunity in the making ! sell power to Afghanistan for example !

well done Pakistan

we are lazy and feel sleepy many years .but when we work we work like this afghans are not needed power iran china are surplus india is enemy . pakistan have no choice . i think gov will get rid of thermal power plants now next will be gas .

UAE also needs to create a global media brand which would become a household name.

The best way to use extra power if it can not be exported is to establish aluminium production plants....they need and use massive amounts of power...no wonder UAE needs all that power ..they have a very large aluminium production...probably import the ore and turn it into ingots for export.

It is important for Industry..
Besides that Pakistan can export electricity to at least Afghanistan ..if not to China..

How much electricity does Afghanistan need?
