Renewable & Clean Energy will debut as the theme for Middle East Energy’s inaugural virtual focus week on 17 May 2021, as research from Informa Markets revealed 83 GW of renewable and clean energy capacity, mainly solar and wind power, is planned across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region within the next 20 years, and more than AED55 billion of solar power projects are expected to become operational by 2026.

UAE leads the GCC in renewable and clean energy

The figures were highlighted as the Middle East is set to become a market leader in renewable and clean energy due to well-designed auctions, favorable financing conditions, and declining technology costs, all contributing to bringing renewables into the mainstream. In the GCC, the UAE remains a leader in energy transition thanks to a robust pipeline of developments. These include the 2GW Al Dhafra solar power project in Abu Dhabi, which will eventually power 160,000 homes, and the 1.5GW PV3 project, also in the capital. 

In Dubai, the fourth and fifth phases of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (MBR) solar facility are under development. Once completed, the MBR plant will be the world’s largest single-site solar installation, with a planned total capacity of 5GW when fully operational by 2030. Putting those figures in context, 1GW is equal to 3.125 million photovoltaic panels. The importance of the renewables and clean sector, and the anticipated growth, was recently underscored in the report “COVID-19 Impact on Renewable Energy Market – Global Forecast to 2021”. The findings revealed revenue generated from renewable and clean energy is expected to increase from AED 675 billion in 2020 to AED 829 billion in 2021, representing a 22 percent increase.
Topics on day one include Realizing the potential of green hydrogen – will this be the game-changer for the energy transition. On day two, leading the agenda will be Race to net-zero: How will the corporates transition towards the “New Energy scenario. On the final day, Exploring the opportunities around growing wind sector, in potential regions of UK, Africa, Asia and the Middle East, will take centre stage. The focused sector week is the first of a four-week series of online events brought by Middle East Energy from 17 May until 9 June 2021, featuring: Renewable & Clean Energy, Transmission & Distribution, Critical & Backup Power and Energy Consumption & Management.
