The organization was established with a budget of $100 million . In 2013, the country's energy production of 106 TWh gross was almost entirely produced from gas . The energy demand continued growing especially because of the high consumption of desalination plants.In 2015, UAEs energy import from Iran has peaked 3000 MWe . </P> <P> The construction of the first nuclear power station began in the United Arab Emirates in March 2011 . The project comprises a nuclear power plant called Barakah nuclear power plant with four reactors (5600 MW) in total . The power plant is located close to the city Ruwais . Another possible location for a nuclear power station is Al Fujayrah on the Indian Ocean coast . </P> <P> In October 2016, the United Arab Emirates contracted a new reactor constructed by Korea Electric Power Corp . The first reactor is planned for 2017 . </P>
