The United Arab Emirates raised its clean energy target to 35 per cent of its energy mix by 2030-31, encompassing nuclear and renewable power. This strategy is supported by Masdar, a state-owned company of the United Arab Emirates, which is expanding its projects, including a $6 billion renewable energy initiative in Abu Dhabi that utilizes 19GWh of battery storage. The United Arab Emirates also hosts the International Renewable Energy Agency in Dubai.

The UAE's strategy emphasizes building an integrated energy system that balances economic growth, energy security, and climate action. The country is working to improve grids and efficiency to lower electricity selling prices, while declining renewable energy prices and advanced battery storage technologies enable round-the-clock solar supply.
