They've built four NPPs in the UAE that may end up producing at $0.08/kWh.

Unfortunately, UAE is also building PV that will be producing at $0.013/kWh. And since they're still burning gas for most of their power, every kWh from solar goes straight to reducing the overall cost and CO2 emission, five times cheaper than the NPPs will.



I.e., spending the NPP money on PV instead would displace 5 times the CO2 emission.
