Our Story & Vision
Energypoint reads the UAE’s energy transition the way an engineer reads a load curve — as a system with drivers, constraints and a direction of travel. We publish independent analysis and insight for the people building, financing and governing that system.
Who we are
Energypoint is the energy-intelligence publication of EnergyPoint Holdings, a group active in renewable energy and infrastructure since 2005. Our editorial focus is singular: the transformation of the United Arab Emirates’ power and energy sector, and the wider Gulf market that moves with it.
We are not a newswire and we are not a promotional channel. We are an analytical desk. Every piece we publish is written to help a reader make a better decision — where to site a project, how to read a tariff, when a policy signal becomes a market fact.
Why the UAE, and why now
The UAE has set one of the most concrete decarbonisation agendas in the region: the UAE Net Zero 2050 strategic initiative and the Clean Energy Strategy 2050 have moved clean power from ambition to procurement. The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is scaling toward gigawatt output at record-low tariffs. The Barakah plant has made the country the first in the GCC to operate commercial nuclear power at scale. Hydrogen has a national roadmap, and efficiency mandates now shape how buildings are cooled, certified and metered.
This is a market in structural motion — and structural motion is exactly where clear analysis is scarcest. That is the gap Energypoint exists to fill.
What we cover
- Solar and renewables. Utility-scale procurement, the Al Maktoum Solar Park pipeline, and distributed generation under programmes such as Shams Dubai.
- Nuclear. Barakah’s role in the baseload mix and what firm clean capacity means for grid planning.
- Hydrogen. Low-carbon and green hydrogen projects, offtake logic, and the country’s hydrogen roadmap.
- Efficiency and green building. Estidama Pearl Rating, Dubai’s Al Sa’fat code, district cooling economics (Empower, Tabreed) and ESCO-led retrofits.
- Grid, storage and mobility. Battery storage, interconnection, and EV charging infrastructure as the demand side reshapes itself.
Our vision
Our vision is a UAE energy transition that is decided on evidence, not noise. We want a developer to open Energypoint before committing capital, a corporate sustainability lead to cite us in a board paper, and a policymaker to test an assumption against our analysis. Independent, technically literate, and confident about the direction of the region’s energy future — that is the standard we hold ourselves to.
