T + T - normal size
Solar investments in the UAE have huge potential, driven by government subsidies, large government investments, supportive policies, an innovation-friendly environment, commitment to sustainability goals, increased energy demand and lower technology costs.
The UAE is a pioneer in the adoption of renewable energy sources and strives to make solar energy the cornerstone of the national energy system, with many global reports indicating that the UAE is one of the fastest countries in the world in the adoption of solar energy.
And in this regard...
A report by Mordor Intelligence International, for research and studies, predicted that the size of the solar energy market in the UAE will grow at a compound annual growth rate of more than 35% during the coming period, specifically until 2029.
The report stressed the importance of the UAE Energy Strategy, which aims to triple the contribution of renewable energy over the next seven years, and to inject national investments between 150 and 200 billion dirhams during the same period, in order to reach the targets of climate neutrality 2050.
He also predicted that the transformation in the field of renewable energy, specifically solar energy, which is a key player in the energy transformation strategy, will create many opportunities for the solar market in the UAE in the future.
According to another report from Mordor Intelligence, the global solar market is expected to grow at a rate of only 29% between 2024 and 2029, thus surpassing the global average.
The UAE has emerged as a major player in the global solar market in recent years, and has leapfrogged production rates over the past 10 years: from just about 12 megawatts of solar capacity in 2012, it has raised the figure at a staggering rate to more than 3,040 megawatts, according to the Energy Institute.
In 2022, the UAE emerged as a major player in the global solar energy market, ranking second in the world in terms of per capita solar energy consumption, according to the Statutory Review of World Energy.
S & P reported that the proliferation of solar PV as an abundant, low-cost and rapidly deployable technology has overshadowed the potential of wind in the Middle East, pointing to the UAE ’ s role in the region in the field of solar energy and the transition to clean energy.
Masdar is involved in the development of a number of key projects in the UAE, including Shams, the region ’ s first concentrated solar power plant, which was inaugurated in 2013.
It has also invested in a range of world-leading solar power plants, including the 2 GW Al Dhafra plant, the world ’ s largest single-site solar PV plant in operation.
Masdar has developed the third phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai and won the bid to develop the sixth phase of the project, which will have a total production capacity of 5 gigawatts and will be the largest in the world.

African magazine: Egypt has huge potential for renewable energy
The African magazine ESI Africa, which specializes in energy news, said that Egypt is ready to meet its 2035 wind energy target and has a huge potential for renewable energy.
The magazine added that the Egyptian government has put a number of measures in place to encourage the use of renewable energy sources.
To meet the rapidly growing demand for energy, the Egyptian government has pursued an energy diversification strategy known as the Integrated Sustainable Energy Strategy, which aims to maintain the security and stability of the country ’ s energy supply.
Of the renewable energy target of 42%, the strategy planned wind power to compensate for 12% - the rest comes from small solar and hydro projects, to achieve these goals, the country has worked to increase its capacity for wind energy rapidly.
Egypt is known to have some of the best wind power sources in the world on the eastern and western banks of the Nile, as well as in the Gulf of Suez, and with high wind speeds of up to 9-10 meters per second, and strong investments in this area, GlobalData estimates that the country should easily achieve its wind power target.
Wind power is expected to account for 12.2% of total annual generation in 2035.
Due to the climate, the country ’ s solar energy potential is also high, and the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy (MoERE) has introduced a Net Metering and Nutrition (FiT) tariff, and tax incentives to boost renewable energy generation.
The African magazine ESI Africa, which specializes in energy news, said that the Egyptian government is taking concrete steps to enhance energy security and preserve the country ’ s natural resources in light of the escalating changes taking place in the world, confirming its readiness to host the World Climate Conference “COP 27 ” scheduled to be held in Sharm El-Sheikh in November this year.
In this regard, Egypt signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia to build the largest wind power plant in the Middle East, with investments of $1.5 billion.

The region plans 73 gigawatts of solar and wind projects, aiming to double renewable energy production by 2030.

Massive clean energy projects boost UAE ’ s climate efforts
Suhail Al Mazrouei
December 8, 2023 01: 29
His Excellency Suhail Mohammed Al Mazrouei
The UAE has seen rapid and sustained growth in renewable energy production over the past decade and has increased its investment in international renewable energy projects, placing it at the forefront of the world ’ s transition to clean energy.
Located just 35km from Abu Dhabi, Al Dhafra Solar Power Plant is the largest single-site solar power plant in the world.
The newly commissioned plant has about 4 million solar panels spread over an area of 20 square kilometers and provides enough power for more than 160,000 homes.
This milestone is part of the UAE ’ s ambitious plans to diversify its energy sources and is one of the latest achievements in a 15-year journey in which the country has established itself as the world ’ s largest solar producer and the second largest consumer of solar energy by population.
The Al Dhafra Solar Power Plant contributes significantly to the UAE ’ s strategic goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050.
This is a goal that the country is moving steadily towards thanks to its huge investments.
To date, the UAE has fulfilled its commitments to invest more than $50 billion in renewable energy projects, both inside and outside the country.
In July 2023, the UAE unveiled additional plans to double its renewable energy supply and investment by $54 billion over the next seven years to meet growing energy demand.
The UAE has already begun to reap the benefits of its commitment to these pledges.
By 2030, the country will have doubled its renewable energy capacity and the share of clean energy in its diverse energy sources will increase by 30% with a total capacity of 19.8 GW.
Thanks to the UAE ’ s year-round sunny climate, solar energy is one of the most important and prominent sources of energy in the country.
In addition to the Al Dhafra solar plant, the Noor Abu Dhabi solar plant generates 1.2 gigawatts of electricity and provides power to 90,000 homes while reducing emissions by 1 million metric tons per year, enough to remove 200,000 vehicles from the roads.
The Shams plant in the Al Dhafra region of Abu Dhabi is one of the largest concentrated solar power plants in the Middle East and helps eliminate 175,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually, equivalent to planting 1.5 million trees.
In Dubai, the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park comes with a production capacity of 5,000 megawatts by 2030, enough to power 800,000 homes by 2030 and reduce more than 6.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
Despite the country ’ s large and diversified investments in clean energy, its transition to clean energy is based on a long history and track record in sustainability that put his first daughters, the founding father of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who was the forerunner in preserving the environment before increasing interest in this important topic.
Recently, the UAE has begun to take advantage of technological development to establish itself as a leading innovation hub based on a sophisticated system aimed at finding solutions to some of the world ’ s biggest challenges.
Although solar power is abundant, nuclear power contributes even more to efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
At the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the first nuclear power project in the Arab world, three of its four units have started commercial operations.
Once the fourth reactor is operational, the plant will generate 5.6 GW of clean energy, providing 25% of the UAE ’ s electricity needs.
The UAE has also succeeded in introducing wind energy on a large scale in its diverse energy sources by launching the UAE Wind Energy Program, where wind farms are located in three locations in Abu Dhabi and one in Fujairah, with a production capacity sufficient to power more than 23,000 homes annually.
Low-emission hydrogen is expected to play a key role in the UAE ’ s renewable energy portfolio, as the country prepares to strengthen its leadership in the production and export of low-emission hydrogen, with a target of 1.4 million metric tons per year by 2031 and 15 million metric tons per year by 2050.
In line with the UAE ’ s National Hydrogen Strategy announced in July 2023, it will establish two hydrogen-producing oases by 2031 and increase the number to five by 2050.
There are also plans to establish a dedicated hydrogen research, development and innovation centre.
The UAE has made significant progress in this area by entering into a number of important partnerships, with Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with four Dutch companies to develop a green hydrogen supply chain between Abu Dhabi and Amsterdam.
ADNOC also sent its first shipment of hydrogen ammonia to Germany in October 2022 as part of a landmark agreement between the UAE and Germany to increase energy security, decarbonize and tackle climate change.
At the same time, the UAE is developing its infrastructure to facilitate the manufacture of clean hydrogen.
This includes ADNOC ’ s plans to build a world-class blue ammonia plant in the Tamkeen industrial zone and chemicals hub in Ruwais.
This is in addition to the agreement signed by Abu Dhabi-based VertiGlobe, a joint venture between ADNOC and USSI, registered in the Netherlands, with Masdar and France to develop a competitively priced green hydrogen production facility in Ruwais with a potential capacity of up to 2 MW scheduled for operation by 2025.
Domestically, the UAE is making significant progress in meeting its energy needs, but its vision for a sustainable future transcends its borders.
In 2022 alone, the UAE allocated nearly $36 billion in foreign direct investment to renewable energy projects around the world.
Since its launch in 2006, Masdar has invested or committed to investing in projects around the world worth more than $30 billion.
These investments include the partnership agreement it recently signed with Egypt to build a 10GW wind farm, which is expected to become one of the largest projects in its class.
In addition to producing 47,790 gigawatts of clean energy annually, the farm will create 100,000 jobs during construction and 3,200 more once the project is completed.
It will contribute a 42% share of Egypt ’ s diverse energy sources by 2035 and help save $5 billion a year in natural gas costs.
Masdar also formed a new consortium to build a $1 billion solar power plant in Saudi Arabia after signing a power purchase agreement with EDF Renewables, Nesma and Saudi Power Purchase Company.
Under the agreement, the consortium will develop the 1,100-megawatt (MW) Hannakiya solar power plant, which, when completed, will power more than 190,000 homes a year and avoid the release of more than 1.8 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
While the UAE ’ s ambitious clean energy projects have proven to have a significant impact on reducing emissions, the country ’ s expansion of its clean and diverse energy sources promotes the development of sustainable development on a larger scale, creating jobs, increasing access to clean, affordable, reliable and safe energy, and paving the way towards a thriving sustainable economy.

The World Today - A pivotal and promising role for the countries of the region in the transition to renewable energy
You are now following the news of a pivotal and promising role waiting for the countries of the region in the transition to renewable energy from the news section of the world and now we leave you with full details
MARCH 3, 2023 02: 16 AM - The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has always played a pivotal role in the oil and gas markets, but this role will not stop if the world decides to move to low-emission sources of energy.
According to APRICORP, renewable energy investments are expected to account for 34 percent of electricity investment in the Middle East and North Africa between 2022 and 2026.
According to McKinsey & Company, the Middle East and North Africa receives 22 to 26 percent of the solar radiation energy on Earth, due to its geographical location.
Solar energy is not the only thing that distinguishes the region, as countries in this region are likely to be the source of 10 to 20 percent of the global hydrogen market by 2050, according to Roland Berger.
Hydrogen is likely to generate annual revenues of $120 billion to $200 billion by 2050, and many countries in the region have already started projects to transport and export hydrogen to energy-consuming countries.
The region has about 10 percent of global carbon capture and storage capabilities.
Despite the many challenges that countries in the region must face in this regard, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has the potential to play a pivotal role in the global energy transition.
The most prominent question about green finance comes in this promising region.
Nael Amin, senior director of financial services at Arthur D. Little, said on this week ’ s episode of Dot Gulf ’ s World of Energy program that green finance in the Middle East and North Africa, including green bonds, had reached $3.8 billion in 2020.
This amount, according to Amin, has grown significantly during the year 2022, specifically in 4 countries, Turkey, the Arab Emirates, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, due to the development in the region and increased investments in this sector, as well as providing some important requirements in this sector.
Amin explained that besides financing, the region is witnessing progress in many areas in terms of dealing with environmental factors, which is an attractive factor for investors.
Over the past two years, banks have significantly increased their legislation in this area, as each of the Gulf countries has implemented the necessary standards and requirements to support the business environment in the field of green energy.
There are challenges, according to Amin, the most prominent of which is the data challenge, as he pointed out that banks are approaching the activities of customers to know the necessary data on funded projects, for example, in the case of financing the construction of a building, you must know the amount of energy that will be consumed by this building.
The Gulf States are working and collaborating with each other to understand the framework that must be adopted to develop infrastructure in the field of renewable energy and promote sustainability, which will positively impact and support green investment in general in the region.
We hope that we have succeeded in conveying the full details of a pivotal and promising role that awaits the countries of the region in the transition to renewable energy.
In God ’ s care and protection.

2030 Arab Goal to Advance Renewable Energy Capabilities Globally
(MENAFN- Al-Bayan) $(resize) .css ('font-size', newFontSize); return false;});});
Several Arab countries are accelerating to keep pace with the international aspiration to achieve the goal of tripling global renewable energy capacity by 2030, which is receiving widespread attention, amid various plans and strategies at national levels in many countries.
The Arab countries that are likely to play the largest role in this regard, according to industry experts, are the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Egypt, Jordan, Algeria and Morocco, by injecting more investments into this vital and promising sector.
During the recent G20 summit in New Delhi in September, G20 leaders expressed their support for all efforts to increase renewable energy capacity and pledged to accelerate measures to address environmental crises and challenges.
With this growing international interest in the energy transition, the plans are facing many challenges, including (but not limited to) access to finance, especially for low- and middle-income countries, with significant investment required over the coming years.
(Al-Bayan), a group of American academics and specialists in the renewable energy sector were surveyed about the main opportunities and challenges on the way to increase the desired capacity, the investments required to achieve that goal, and the extent of its expected environmental and economic repercussions.
Huge spikes.
Achieving the ambitious goal of doubling global renewable energy capacity in the near term will be reflected concretely in several contexts, explains Gregory Nemet, a specialist in the analysis of international energy systems and environmental policies at the University of Wisconsin. By 2030, it will deliver significant benefits in terms of jobs, economic development, and improved air quality, as well as putting the world on the path to addressing climate change in the long term.
“The costs of renewable energy, especially solar and wind, have dropped dramatically over the last 10 years, and most experts expect them to continue to fall, ” says Nemet, explaining that a clean, affordable source of energy creates huge opportunities, allowing global renewable energy capacity to be tripled by taking full advantage of it.
According to Nemet, the 3-fold increase also presents challenges, such as “access to finance for low- and middle-income countries, and investments in electricity grids to accommodate this growth ”, stressing that“ challenges can be overcome through sustained efforts and supportive policies, as we have seen many examples in the recent past. ” A sign of broad international cooperation is required in this regard.
Last year, renewable energy capacity (globally) increased by 9.6 percent to 3,372 gigawatts, an increase of a record 295 gigawatts, despite global uncertainty in light of geopolitical developments and the Ukrainian war, according to data published by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) on March 22.
Almost half of the new capacity from renewable energy in Asia has been added, with China contributing more than 141 gigawatts to the new capacity of the entire continent.
Renewable energy sources in Europe and the United States grew by 57.3 gigawatts and 29.1 gigawatts respectively.
African capacity increased slightly by 2.7 gigawatts.
According to IRENA data, although hydropower accounts for the largest share of total global renewable energy capacity at 1,250 gigawatts, solar and wind power continue to dominate new capacity, contributing 90% of total capacity last year.
Solar capacity came first with an increase of 22%, followed by wind power with an increase of 9%.
Policies and Incentives
University of Massachusetts academic David Turcotte, whose research interests include climate change and environmental justice, believes that there are many opportunities in the context of increasing global renewable energy capacity, due to increases in oil prices as a result of the Ukrainian crisis, which makes renewable energy sources more cost-effective, as well as worsening economic and human costs. Recurrent, more severe climate change disasters.
“Many developed countries have expanded policies and incentives to encourage increased capacity to produce renewable energy.
However, we still face a lot of challenges […]
That threatens to derail efforts to increase renewable energy capacity, and the transition to a clean energy economy.
Among these challenges is the lack of adequate funding to support increases in renewable energy capacity in developing countries, a challenge he described as “serious. ”
While international efforts are accelerating to target investments in the context of increasing global renewable energy capacity, those investments are still below the 1.5 ° C target.
This is shown by data from IRENA and the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) released in February, which estimate the total volume of investments in renewable energy sectors during 2022 at $499 billion, up from $430 billion in the previous year 2021.
Developments in the world over the past year, especially with the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine in February 2022, have also encouraged many countries to move more towards renewable energy sources, to overcome the energy crisis caused by the consequences of the war, in the interest of the desired goal of increasing capacity.
Required investments
John Hall, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Center for Energy Production and Infrastructure, University of North Carolina, United States, notes that “the goal of tripling global renewable energy capacity by 2030 is a challenge, and achieving the goal requires an intensive global strategy, focused on significant financial investment, technological innovation targeting these communities, inclusive policies, and collaborative efforts. ”
Speaking with Al-Bayan, he stressed that community participation and infrastructure development in underserved areas should be central to the strategy, leading not only to the promotion of the energy transition, but also to economic upgrading.
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimates that $4 trillion per year will be required in the clean energy sector until 2030 to strengthen global capacity in this regard.
Logistical challenges
Warren Mabey, an academic at Queen ’ s University who specialises in energy policy and natural resource management, told Al Bayan that “it is technically possible to triple global renewable energy capacity over the next six years, and this will put enormous pressure on the global supply chains that support the sector. and manufactured goods, necessary for the transformation process).
Mabe believes that “the cost will be enormous, and the logistical challenge may be too great to overcome ”, stressing the need for“ strong and consistent leadership from countries around the world to achieve this. ”
Arabic Steps
At the Arab level, five Arab countries (Egypt, Morocco, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates) are expected to account for about 72% of the region ’ s total growth in renewable energy, according to the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC), which expects renewable energy capacity to reach 45 gigawatts by 2027, an increase of 3 times. Compared to the last five years.
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimates that in 2022, the Middle East saw the highest increase in renewables ever, with 3.2 gigawatts of new capacity added last year, a 12.8 percent increase over the previous year.
According to the Arab Renewable Energy Authority (AREA), the volume of investments by Arab countries in renewable energy projects is expected to reach $1 trillion by 2040, in light of the interest of Arab governments in this file, to achieve global environmental goals.
A Great Leap in 10 Years
According to the current data, the renewable energy sector in the region is expected to witness a huge leap in the next 10 years, at a time when eight Arab countries are leading this trend, according to the researcher in international relations and political economy, Abu Bakr al-Deeb, adviser to the Arab Center for Studies and Research, who tells Al-Bayan that the countries strongly candidate to move in this direction are:, Kuwait, Egypt, Jordan, Algeria and Morocco).
Aldeeb also cites the volume of electricity generated from renewable sources in the Middle East and Arab countries, which is expected to increase six-fold in 10 years through heavy reliance on solar photovoltaic energy, noting that the Arab region has “great potential ” to help launch major projects to produce energy from the sun. And wind, among these possibilities or advantages (the right climate, the bright sun most days of the year, as well as human expertise, and financial capabilities also for some countries).
The UAE is at the top of the list of Arab countries that produce electricity from solar energy, while Egypt is the largest country in the Arab world in terms of electricity production from wind energy, according to a report issued by (Global Energy Monitor), which Al-Deeb cites when explaining the progress made by some Arab countries in this sector, The UAE, Egypt, Jordan and Morocco are among the first Arab countries to establish solar and wind power plants.
According to the report, renewable power plant projects for Arab countries are likely to achieve 92% of the region ’ s total target by 2030 when completed.
One of the most reliable projects in this regard is the Green Hydrogen projects, through which the Middle East is seeking global leadership, with export revenues likely to reach $200 billion by 2050 for the Gulf countries, according to a study by Dii Desert Energy.
In this context, Al-Deeb notes the abundance of renewable energy resources, clean hydrogen, human expertise, capital, and their geographical proximity to the European market, all of which provide them with important and growing opportunities.

You are now following the news of a pivotal and promising role waiting for the countries of the region in the transition to renewable energy from the news section of the world and now we leave you with full details
MARCH 3, 2023 02: 16 AM - The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has always played a pivotal role in the oil and gas markets, but this role will not stop if the world decides to move to low-emission sources of energy.
According to APRICORP, renewable energy investments are expected to account for 34 percent of electricity investment in the Middle East and North Africa between 2022 and 2026.
According to McKinsey & Company, the Middle East and North Africa receives 22 to 26 percent of the solar radiation energy on Earth, due to its geographical location.
Solar energy is not the only thing that distinguishes the region, as countries in this region are likely to be the source of 10 to 20 percent of the global hydrogen market by 2050, according to Roland Berger.
Hydrogen is likely to generate annual revenues of $120 billion to $200 billion by 2050, and many countries in the region have already started projects to transport and export hydrogen to energy-consuming countries.
The region has about 10 percent of global carbon capture and storage capabilities.
Despite the many challenges that countries in the region must face in this regard, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has the potential to play a pivotal role in the global energy transition.
The most prominent question about green finance comes in this promising region.
Nael Amin, senior director of financial services at Arthur D. Little, said on this week ’ s episode of Dot Gulf ’ s World of Energy program that green finance in the Middle East and North Africa, including green bonds, had reached $3.8 billion in 2020.
This amount, according to Amin, has grown significantly during the year 2022, specifically in 4 countries, Turkey, the Arab Emirates, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, due to the development in the region and increased investments in this sector, as well as providing some important requirements in this sector.
Amin explained that besides financing, the region is witnessing progress in many areas in terms of dealing with environmental factors, which is an attractive factor for investors.
Over the past two years, banks have significantly increased their legislation in this area, as each of the Gulf countries has implemented the necessary standards and requirements to support the business environment in the field of green energy.
There are challenges, according to Amin, the most prominent of which is the data challenge, as he pointed out that banks are approaching the activities of customers to know the necessary data on funded projects, for example, in the case of financing the construction of a building, you must know the amount of energy that will be consumed by this building.
The Gulf States are working and collaborating with each other to understand the framework that must be adopted to develop infrastructure in the field of renewable energy and promote sustainability, which will positively impact and support green investment in general in the region.
We hope that we have succeeded in conveying the full details of a pivotal and promising role that awaits the countries of the region in the transition to renewable energy.
In God ’ s care and protection.

Ayat Suleiman, Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa at the World Bank, said that the countries of the Middle East and North Africa region have an important opportunity to accelerate the pace of adaptation to climate change and embrace a number of green solutions, otherwise there will be problems and challenges affecting public health and prosperity in the region.
"We must envision a way of green recovery in order to be able to respond to future crises," she said, noting that the pandemic has reinforced poverty in the region and has faced a number of economic crises, which have led to increased unemployment.
She congratulated Egypt for hosting the climate summit at the end of this year, and the United Arab Emirates, which will host it next year.
Ayat Soliman said that this is a good opportunity for Egypt to learn its leadership role in combating climate change, pointing out that there is evidence that climate change will exist for a long time and will affect societies.
The Mediterranean region will experience reduced rainfall, sea levels will rise at significant rates, environmental pollution will result in a loss of 3% of global GDP, and water sources will be affected by climate change, negatively impacting the ability of people and communities to respond to climate change.
She called for the adoption of a green and inclusive action plan, noting that in 2050 the population of the region is expected to double, and we need 300 million jobs to keep pace with population growth, and green development solutions provide jobs for the youth of tomorrow, stressing that the orientation to new sources of energy reduces carbon and achieves social and economic benefits.
She pointed out that the new energy could provide the world with more than 2 billion jobs in the coming years, and in Morocco, for example, the country is working over the next 30 years to create one million jobs in the field of new energy.
She explained that the shift to green technology could lead to increased crop production and less water consumption, noting that the lack of water treatment affects public health and wastes existing opportunities.
It was time to improve the experiences of women and young people and to take advantage of green technology through training.
She stressed that the comprehensive green approach will help the Middle East and North Africa to get out of the pandemic and move towards the future, noting that the World Bank launched the Green Future Program for the Middle East and North Africa.
"We are focused on transforming the economy towards a green economy," she said, noting that sustainable development, climate change and the pandemic are the most important challenges facing our region.
