Why it matters
- The 21st-largest oil- and gas-fired power station in United Arab Emirates by capacity (of 32 operating oil & gas facilities tracked).
- Provides about 2% of United Arab Emirates's operating oil & gas capacity and roughly 1.6% of all operating power capacity in the country in the dataset.
- Gas-fired plants — especially combined-cycle units — provide flexible output that can ramp quickly to balance demand and variable renewables, so their availability is closely tied to gas supply and prices.
