VOICED : UAE hopes to lead renewable energy

The video discusses the UAE's efforts to diversify its energy sources, focusing on projects like the Shams 1 solar power plant and Masdar City. It highlights the challenges faced, such as budget cuts and criticism of focusing on new cities rather than existing ones. The UAE's plans include building nuclear power plants and increasing oil production, despite aiming to reduce its carbon footprint. Dubai's renewable energy initiatives, including a large solar park, are also covered.

• 500 megawatts

• 100 megawatts

• 50 megawatts

• 200 megawatts

What was a major goal for the Masdar City project?

• To become the largest city in the UAE

• To rely solely on nuclear energy

• To have the highest carbon footprint

• To serve as a model for sustainable cities

What caused the delay in the completion of Masdar City?

• Lack of interest from investors
