The UAE aims to achieve a sustainable infrastructure for generating power through renewable energy.
The demand for electricity and water continues to grow at a fast pace due to a rise in population, an expanding economy and climatic considerations. According to Business Monitor International, a sharp increase in annual power demand throughout the country is expected over the period 2012-21, with an anticipated average annual increase in consumption of 5.6 per cent.
According to The UAE State of Energy Report 2015, the share of power generation from gas will drop from 98 per cent in 2012 to less than 76 per cent in 2021 as clean energy would enter the mix and energy efficiency would intensify.
The energy sector plays an important role in shaping the UAE's internal and external policies. Since the discovery of oil and gas more than half a century ago, the UAE became a central player in global hydrocarbon energy market.
The UAE is the fifth largest oil producer in OPEC, with an oil output of 2.79 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2013. In the same year, the production of natural gas amounted to around 54.60 billion cubic metres. The production capacity of oil is set to rise to 3.5 million bpd by 2017.
However, thanks to the wise leadership, the UAE has decided to diversify its energy mix in order to sustain its progress and at the same time minimise the environmental impact that may arise from burning fuel.
Therefore, it was decided that the traditional sources of energy, being oil and gas should not be the main drivers of the economic process.
In addition, the UAE is developing local expertise in these important technologies and fostering international cooperation and resource conservation. Through this diversified long-term strategy, the UAE is building the knowledge and human capital required to create sustainable solutions for energy resources.
While oil and gas have historically been the dominant fuels powering the UAE's economy, the UAE's energy sector is undergoing a transformation targeting the diversification of the UAE's energy mix.
The UAE generates most of its electricity (110 billion kilowatt-hours in 2013) using natural gas-fired generation. It is planning to integrate the natural gas distribution networks of all the emirates; this should help alleviate some of the peak-demand shortfalls experienced in the past.
In 2012, the total installed capacity of electricity generation was 27.2 gigawatts (GW). To meet the rising demand in a sustainable manner, the UAE is focusing on coming up with a balanced energy mix.
Clean energy-mix in the UAE
The UAE is the first Gulf country to start on the new energy strategy, which involves the nuclear power and solar energy in addition to natural gas. The country is looking to increase its target for power generation from clean energy to 30 per cent by 2030; it aims to achieve 25 to 30 per cent of its electricity to be generated from both nuclear and solar. The government has committed to produce at least 7 per cent of total power generation from renewable sources by 2020.
