Rising electricity demand to drive development of nuclear energy sector in UAE.

Delhi, India, May 31, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Nuclear energy has emerged as the best option for UAE to fulfill its growing electricity demand according to a recent research report "UAE Power Sector Analysis" published by KuicK Research. The traditional non-renewable sources of power are insufficient to fulfill the rising electricity demand which is projected to surpass 30000 MW by 2020. While renewable energy sources like solar and wind based power are being explored, it is projected that these will only be able to meet less than 10% of electricity demand by 2020. Therefore, the need for a long term policy framework for evaluating and exploring nuclear energy potential has emerged in UAE.
