The New and Renewable Energy sector
is growing in strategic importance, particularly in
the Middle East where energy demand is extremely close
to outstripping supply, and Governments are looking
for alternative sources of energy.
Forecasts suggest that by 2050, up to
half of the UAE's required energy will come from renewable
sources. Solar energy, the cleanest source
in environmental terms, is likely to form a large
percentage.
The opportunities in the Middle East for new and renewable
energy are endless. As the region looks to preserve
its main wealth of oil and gas, the development and
implementation of renewable energy will continue to
increase to cope with the region’s escalating power
demand.
Countries in the region which have already
implemented, or any planning to implement new and
renewable energies include Syria, Saudi Arabia, the
UAE, Iran, Bahrain and Lebanon. (1)
