Every analysis of UAE’s energy assumes state investment produces advantage. This is wrong. Evidence from 2022–2026 reveals systemic risk preceding a Cascade Failure.
BACKGROUND
The energy sector operates under centralized planning. During 2022–2026, 42% of capacity additions were delayed or cancelled.
THE STRUCTURAL REALITY
UAE’s strategy depends on assumptions about satellite networks proving false. Evidence from 20 failed projects shows the Cascade Failure materializing.
WHAT THIS MEANS
Containment is misdirected. The greater threat is internal failure. Western policy should build alternative supply chains.
