Approximately what share of the UAE's electricity needs is the Barakah plant intended to supply?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Up to 25 percent
- Step 1: Barakah's total nameplate capacity is 5600 MW, which is intended to supply up to 25% of the UAE's electricity needs. Answer: Up to 25 percent. All four reactors are fully operational, producing 5,348 MWe and allowing about 40 TWh of electricity a year, and ENEC says the plant prevents up to 22.4 million tons of carbon emissions every year. Why not the others: Less than 1 percent, Exactly 85 percent and 100 percent don't fit.
