Editorial & Fact-Check Policy
This page sets out how EnergyPoint Holdings researches, verifies and updates the energy content it publishes for the UAE market. It exists so that readers — investors, developers, corporate occupiers and journalists — can judge the reliability of what they read on this site without having to take it on faith.
Who this content is for
Our reporting is written for people who make decisions with real capital exposure to the UAE energy transition: property owners evaluating rooftop solar, developers tracking green-building compliance deadlines, corporate tenants managing Scope 2 emissions reporting, and investors assessing utility-scale and infrastructure projects. That audience does not need generic explainer content; it needs figures, tariffs and regulatory citations that are current and traceable to their origin.
Where our facts come from
Every factual claim on this site — a tariff, a capacity figure, a regulatory deadline, a corporate result — is sourced to a named, identifiable primary or authoritative secondary source. The core sources we draw on for UAE energy coverage include:
- DEWA (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority) — Dubai tariffs, Shams Dubai net-metering rules, EV Green Charger network data.
- EWEC (Emirates Water and Electricity Company) — Abu Dhabi generation procurement and off-take agreements.
- Masdar — utility-scale renewable project data, including capacity, timelines and partnership structures.
- ENEC / Nawah (Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation) — Barakah plant operating status and output figures.
- ADNOC — E2GO EV charging network expansion and hydrogen and carbon-related initiatives.
- u.ae — the UAE government’s official portal, used for national strategy documents, ministerial decisions and regulatory text.
- WAM (Emirates News Agency) — the UAE’s official state news agency, used to confirm dates, appointments and government announcements.
- Emirate-level building authorities — Dubai Municipality (Al Sa’fat) and the Abu Dhabi Department of Municipalities and Transport (Estidama) — for green-building code requirements.
- Listed operators’ investor disclosures — such as Empower and Tabreed — for district-cooling financial results and tariff structures.
The full, annotated list of sources we consider trustworthy, and why, is maintained separately on our Sources & References page.
How we verify figures
Before publication, every numerical claim is cross-checked against the source document or the operator’s own published data — not against secondary press coverage alone. Where a figure appears only in press reporting without a traceable primary source, we either locate the primary source, attribute the figure explicitly to the outlet that reported it, or omit it. Tariffs, capacity numbers and percentages that change over time (AED/kWh rates, GW targets, market-size CAGR figures) are re-checked at each revision cycle against the latest available primary data, and we do not carry forward a stale figure without confirming it still holds.
Revision dates
Each article carries a fact-revision date. When a tariff, target or regulatory threshold changes after publication — for example, a Dubai Municipality green-building update, a DEWA tariff adjustment, or a new ministerial decision on qualifying income — we update the affected article and its revision date rather than leaving outdated figures live. Readers relying on a figure for a live transaction should always confirm the current value directly with the relevant authority (DEWA, EWEC, the Federal Tax Authority or the applicable municipality), since regulatory and tariff detail can change between our revision cycles.
What we will not do
- We do not publish invented, estimated, or “illustrative” statistics presented as fact. If a precise figure cannot be sourced, we say so explicitly or omit the number.
- We do not attribute a statistic to a source that did not publish it.
- We do not present regulated or tax-sensitive content — such as free-zone qualifying-income rules or corporate-tax treatment of carbon credits — without the disclaimer set out on our Disclaimer page.
- We do not present the personal views of EnergyPoint leadership as investment or tax advice attributed to a named individual; content is published under the EnergyPoint Editorial byline. See Editorial Team.
Corrections
Where an error is identified after publication — whether a figure, a date or an attribution — we correct the article and note the revision date. Material errors that would have changed a reader’s understanding of a regulated topic are corrected as a priority.
