Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation has signed a commercial uranium fuel supply contract with Kazakhstan’s Kazatomprom for the United Arab Emirates’s Barakah nuclear power station, the first commercial nuclear energy facility in the Arab region.
The deal, signed on the sidelines of Cop28 in Dubai, “opens the door for future collaboration” between the two entities, as Enec forms international partnerships to support greater energy security and sustainable development, the UAE company said.
The signing took place during the official visit of Kazakhstan president Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to the UAE.
