According to Pulse by Maeil Business News Korea,
South Korea’s Korea Electric Power Corp. (KEPCO) announced the successful commencement of power supply at the fourth and final unit of the Korean-built Barakah nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
According to KEPCO on Sunday, the operator of the UAE nuclear power plant announced that its No. 4 reactor has successfully connected to the transmission grid on Saturday.
Grid connection refers to supplying electricity generated at a nuclear power plant to households or industrial sites through transmission lines.
Barakah Unit 4 is scheduled to begin commercial operation this year after completing subsequent tests, including power ramp-up tests.
The Barakah nuclear power plant is expected to provide around 25 percent of the UAE’s electricity demand once all of the four units are in operation.
