What are future power generation scenarios for the United Arab Emirates (UAE)?

Future power generation scenarios for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that emphasize solar photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) with thermal energy storage are analyzed at PV:CSP generation ratios of 1:1 to 4:1, and up to 50% renewable share.

Where does the UAE export its energy?

The country exports around 70% of its production (2023), almost exclusively to Asia and the Pacific region. The UAE targets 32% of clean sources in the power mix in 2030 (renewables and nuclear). The updated Energy Strategy 2050 (2023) aims to supply 44% of its energy consumption with renewables by 2050 and to triple the capacity of renewables.

How much excess electricity will be generated in UAE in February?

At 40% renewable share in the PV:CSP 4:1 scenario, which may be the closest to current UAE future energy plans, monthly excess electricity generation ranges from 0 in July to 2.8 TWh (i.e., 21.4% of monthly demand) in February.

How many GW of renewable electricity are there in the UAE?

At 40% renewable electricity share, which closely approximates future UAE targets, the corresponding annual hourly excess electricity values peak at 12 GW, 15.4 GW and 18.2 GW in the PV:CSP 1:1, 2:1 and 4:1 scenarios, respectively.

What is Dubai's Energy Strategy 2050?

The updated Energy Strategy 2050 (2023) aims to supply 44% of its energy consumption with renewables by 2050 and to triple the capacity of renewables. Dubai aims to cover 25% of its energy consumption from solar in 2030 and to reach 75% of clean energy sources (including nuclear) by 2050.

What are UAE renewable-based power generation scenarios?

The UAE renewable-based power generation scenarios ( Table 4) were modeled and evaluated based on widely accepted criteria, including annual primary fuel consumption (PFC), annual CO 2 emissions, annual excess electricity production (EEP), and the annual socio-economic cost of power generation including PtG.
