Barakah nuclear power plant
The Barakah nuclear power plant (Arabic: محطة براكة للطاقة النووية) (BNPP) is a nuclear power station in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The site is in the Al Dhafra region of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, approximately 53 km west-southwest of Al Dhannah City, on the coastline between the Persian Gulf and the E11 highway. It consists of four APR-1400 nuclear reactors. Its total nameplate capacity is 5600 MW which is intended to supply up to 25% of UAE's electricity needs. It is the first nuclear power station in the UAE, and the first commercial nuclear power station in the Arab World. A drone strike against the nuclear facility caused a fire at the perimeter on May 17, 2026. The Ministry of Defense later reported the drone originated in Iraqi territory.
