Most people working in the Middle East utilities
sector will happily tell you that this is a region with
a lot going on. Surging investment, ambitious plans,
booming population growth all things bound to
put a smile on the faces of those with an interest in
power and water infrastructure.
Theres certainly plenty happening right now. Our
exclusive feature interview this month sees us talk
with Mohamed Al Hammadi, CEO of the Emirates
Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC). The UAEs
nuclear project has been an ever-present in our
news pages for some time now, with the programme
recently announcing a number of milestone devel-
opments. During the interview, we heard about
ENECs approach to critical issues such as safety
and fuel security, as well as getting an insight into
exactly what stage the project is currently at. As
the largest utilities project underway in the Middle
East, not to mention the first nuclear programme in
the region, the Barakah project seems likely to be a
headline act for the foreseeable future.
Elsewhere, the traditional events season for the
industry is about to begin, with conferences and
exhibitions planned all over the region. Perhaps
the most high-profile this year, the World Energy
Forum 2012, is descending on Dubai towards the
end of the month. This is the first time the Forum has
convened outside of New York, and will see heads of
states, ministers and business leaders gather in the
UAE to focus on supporting global energy security.
Of course, we will have to wait to see what the forum
produces in terms of results, but the very fact that
it is being held here is a real mark of prestige for the
region. Not to mention a great networking opportu-
nity both for the regions businesses and for inter-
view-seeking journalists.
