---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--United Arab Emirates (UAE) plans to increase its "clean" energy capacity to 14 gigawatts (GW) by 2030 from its current installed capacity of 9.2 GW. UAE defines "clean" energy as coming from renewable sources such as wind, solar and hydro, as well as from nuclear power.

The country is building the world's largest solar plant in the Al Dhafra region of Abu Dhabi, with a capacity of 2 GW, as well as the Mohammed bin Rashid Solar Park in Dubai, with a 5-GW capacity, in multiple phases.
