The Middle East and North Africa region is going through a rapid energy transition and has made significant advances when it comes to renewables.
Several factors have driven this rapid shift, including economic diversification goals, climate pressures and domestic energy demand. In addition, there has been a decline in the cost of clean technologies and governments across the region have been investing heavily in renewables like solar and wind and related infrastructure.
The installed renewable energy capacity in MENA is already about 30 gigawatts. And projections show an expected increase to more than 130 GW by 2030.
Although this shows that the region’s renewable energy capacity is projected to expand more than fourfold by the end of the decade, the transformation is not uniform. While some MENA countries are emerging as global clean energy leaders, others remain constrained. This is due to issues such as inefficient infrastructure, political instability and financial limitations.
