Abu Dhabi, Nov 11 (IANS/WAM) United Arab Emirates (UAE) Minister for Energy Suhail bin Mohammed Faraj Faris Al Mazrouei said Monday that the demand for power in the UAE will exceed 40,000 megawatts by 2020 at a growing rate of 9 percent annually.
He made his remarks at the inauguration of the New Nuclear International Conference (NNIC), being hosted by the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) here Nov 11-14.
Al Mazrouei also pointed out that the UAE's demand growth rate average is three times that of the international energy demand average.
