View in Online Reader

With strong industrial growth and demand for electricity on the rise, Ras Al Khaimah’s energy needs are expanding. This is being met by broadening the number of players in the sector. Aside from the Federal Electricity and Water Authority, several international firms have become major players in the emirate’s energy sector. RAK is working to ensure greater energy independence by boosting access to alternative sources for generating electricity as well as desalinating water. This work is covering areas such as clean-coal technology and other alternative sources of energy. As a result, RAK is becoming a centre for renewables research and development and projects that are in progress related to this could position the emirate as a leader in this field.
