Insights The Renewable and non-renewable energy market in the UAE

At AtkinsRéalis, we have a team of local, regional, and international experts in the UAE who are dedicated to delivering innovative solutions in the market to meet the needs of our clients.

The UAE is home to a diverse and multicultural community, with a thriving economy and a rapidly growing infrastructure - both in renewable energy projects and non-renewable. 

There’s a diversity of career opportunities on offer in both markets in this expanding economy that align both with innovation and sustainability.

The renewable energy market in the UAE

With the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative, groundbreaking energy diversification is taking place. The UAE is pursuing alternative means for producing the power needed to fuel its economy, naturally, this is creating job opportunities in this market.

The country is rapidly embracing renewable energy projects, from emerging smart cities to the UAE’s Wind Program and Solar Park initiatives. Initiatives like this not only reduce the nation’s carbon footprint but also position the UAE as a leader in sustainable development in the region.

As projects progress, the demand for skilled professionals across engineering, project management, and green technology continues to grow. 

Individuals who are passionate, forward-thinking, and interested in sustainability, clean energy, and innovation are encouraged to browse our opportunities today.

The non-renewable energy market in the UAE

The UAE oil and gas market size is expected to grow by 8.4% between 2024 and 2029. Increasing investments along with supportive government policies are forecast to contribute to this growth.

Increasing demand for Liquefied Natual Gas (LNG) in the nation is driving opportunities in the market with the integration of smart technologies in the existing infrastructure.

Technically skilled professionals who excel in complex problem-solving and project management are in demand to help drive the growth of this market.

However, the UAE’s plans to diversify its energy with renewable sources may hinder the market’s growth during the forecast period.
