The United Arab Emirates (UAE) power market size was valued at USD XX Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD XX Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to rising inclination toward deployment of solar energy infrastructure.
The energy mix for electricity generation in the country is dominated by fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. This three electricity generation source constitutes about 65% of the total electricity generation in the country.
UAE has one of the most advanced and efficient power sectors in the Middle East & Africa. The country has distinct structures and favorable government policies. UAE is exploring its potential in renewable energy, particularly in solar power. With various projects being under construction, renewable energy is expected to drive the UAE power market significantly.
The country has several upcoming transmission and distribution network projects, including expansion and refurbishment of existing infrastructure. This factor is expected to drive the T&D infrastructure-related markets in the coming years.
The electricity consumption is growing in the country, resulting in the demand for new power projects and upgradation of the transmission and distribution networks. Moreover, to decrease the dependency on fossil fuels, the renewable energy industry is expected to drive the UAE power market in the coming years.
UAE Power Market Drivers, Restraints, Trends, and Opportunities
- Growing consumption of electricity owing to strong economic activity, rising population, infrastructure development, and industrialization is expected to boost the UAE power market growth.
- Nuclear and waste-to-energy projects are gradually gaining momentum in the country apart from solar power, which is expected to create ample opportunities for the power sector in the country.
- In 2017, the UAE launched 'Energy Strategy 2050', which aims to increase clean energy in the total energy mix to 50% by 2050 and reduce the carbon footprint of power generation by 70%. This, in turn, is expected to create significant market opportunities for the renewable energy companies in the projected timeline.
- Major industry players are diversifying their power generation business by providing renewable energy systems and deploying large-scale renewable projects, positively influencing the market growth.
