    The UAE is expecting a 71 per cent increase in primary energy demand by 2019, industry sources said in Dubai on Tuesday at the opening of Middle East Electricity, the region's largest trade show for the power and energy sectors.

The total spend on energy in the region is expected to be $2.2 trillion (Dh8.09 trillion), with the UAE at the top of the list with $926 billion.
The UAE will begin the construction of its first nuclear power plant in the first quarter of next year, with completion expected in 2017.
