Cameron talks up energy partnership with UAE | GulfNews.com

British Prime Minister David Cameron touched on future energy requirements, partnerships for new energy technologies and investments in the energy sector during discussions with Sultan Al Jaber, Masdar CEO, and Hamad Al Hurr Al Suwaidi, chairman of the board of directors of Taqa (Abu Dhabi National Energy Company), and Mohammad Al Hammadi, CEO of Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (Enec).
Cameron sought to highlight how the UK and the UAE can work together to be world leaders in tackling future energy demand by joining forces to explore new energy technologies and providing the right framework to make energy production commercially viable. “We think we have the best offshore wind market in Europe if not the best offshore wind market in the world so we are very excited about the potential,” he said.
Cameron stressed the UK’s support for and commitment to the renewable energy sector, welcoming Taqa’s investment in the UK’s Continental Shelf which supports 35,000 UK jobs.
