Emirates Nuclear Energy Company (ENEC) has launched ENEC Consulting, a strategic advisory subsidiary created to support initiatives in developing civil nuclear energy programs and associated infrastructure.
Building on over 15 years of experience gained from the successful delivery of the UAE Peaceful Nuclear Energy Program and the flagship Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant, which commenced full-fleet operations in September 2024, ENEC Consulting will focus on the development of a comprehensive lifecycle of a nuclear plant, from strategic advisory and project management to operational readiness and capacity building.
ENEC Consulting illustrates ENEC’s commitment to share its proven success in nuclear project delivery to foster responsible nuclear energy growth.

“With the demand for clean baseload electricity surging, driven by heavy industry and energy-intensive sectors including the data centers required for AI, the role of nuclear energy has never been clearer. The UAE has demonstrated a proven ability to decarbonize its grid, achieving the highest per capita addition of clean electricity globally in the past five years, with 75 percent of this energy coming from the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant. The creation of ENEC Consulting comes at a time of significant global momentum in the nuclear energy sector, we are ready to help partners and stakeholders achieve energy security and sustainability.”
Mohamed Al Braiki, General Manager of ENEC Consulting, emphasized that, “As more countries commit to tripling nuclear energy capacity by 2050, ENEC Consulting is ready to deliver expertise gained from the UAE’s journey in successfully developing the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant, one of the world’s most efficient nuclear new builds. Our mission at ENEC Consulting is to support other countries and organizations seeking to integrate nuclear energy into their clean energy strategies. By leveraging our insights and experience, we aim to accelerate the decarbonization of power grids through the development of sustainable nuclear energy solutions.”
ENEC Consulting provides advisory services across project management, regulatory frameworks, financing models, and workforce development, all geared toward fostering robust and sustainable nuclear energy ecosystems.
Additionally, replicating the success of the UAE program, the company will support clients by establishing oversight mechanisms for safe and efficient project delivery, drawing on the UAE’s globally recognized standards in safety, security, and operational excellence.
The launch of ENEC Consulting builds on ENEC’s strong relations with both established and emerging nuclear nations, supporting the UAE’s commitment to the Tripling Nuclear Declaration. This collaborative initiative, introduced at COP 28 in 2023, calls for a tripling of global nuclear capacity by 2050 to achieve Net Zero. This new venture aligns with the UAE’s broader strategy to contribute to global decarbonization efforts and to serve as a model for responsible and efficient nuclear energy development.
