The UAE’s Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (Enec) has completed major electrical installation work at Unit One of its Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant.

The completion of major electrical installation work at Unit One represents another milestone on the plant at Barakah in the Western Region of Abu Dhabi.

This year alone has seen the energisation of the switchyard for Units One and Two, and the completion of the cold hydrostatic testing, reactor containment building dome structure, and most recently the completion of major electrical work at Unit One, which is now more than 87 per cent complete. All four units are more than 65 per cent complete. 

As part of the completion of major electrical installation at Unit One, teams from Enec and its prime contractor the Korean Electric Power Corporation (Kepco) installed and inspected more than 454 pieces of electrical equipment such as switchgear, motor control centres, and transformers.
