Community


We work to educate, inform and listen.

Our role is to provide accurate information about nuclear energy, and our program, so that the residents of the UAE understand the important role that nuclear energy will play in the future of our nation.

Through public forums, News and scholarship programs, we are building deep, lasting ties with communities across the country.

In 2019, ENEC engaged an independent global market research company, Nielsen, to conduct a public opinion poll on nuclear energy in the UAE. The research found that support for nuclear energy continues to remain high amongst residents of the UAE.

Key findings include:

  • 60% of residents demonstrated awareness of the UAE Peaceful Nuclear Energy Program.
  • 82% of residents believe that the benefits of nuclear energy outweigh its risks.
