Using renewable energy in the Mena region remains an ambitious target and is not translating into actual programmes for many member countries, except for Morocco and the UAE.
This was revealed in the two-day Dubai Clean Energy Forum on Tuesday, organised by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) with the support of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, in partnership with MEED (senior management media brand).
The forum, attended by delegates from here and abroad, addresses clean energy solutions, opportunities, and new technologies to help speed up the adoption of renewable energy in the region.
Some countries are moving while others are struggling in turning their clean energy targets into actual projects to benefit end-users, Ed James, Director of Analysis at MEED Projects, said during the forum, citing MEED’s study on the Mena Renewable Energy Market.
These targets refer to a country’s objective of lessening its dependence on fossil fuel and coal and include clean energy such as wind, solar, and nuclear in its energy mix by 2020.
