The Future of the Middle East Power Market to 2020
Opportunity Analysis, Technology Overview, Infrastructure and Policy Assessment

‘UAE, Qatar, Syria and Bahrain are seeing increased economic growth, leading to a strain on the existing electricity infrastructure in the country. They are increasing their power generating capacities to meet their growing electricity demand’ 

At present, the Middle East is heavily dependent on oil and gas for power generation. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait generate 100% of its power from either oil or gas. However, a change in the power generation mix in the region is expected in the near future due to the shift in focus by the Middle East onto renewable sources such as solar, wind and nuclear. For instance, the UAE aims to build a nuclear capacity of 20,000 MW by 2025 and countries such as Kuwait and Iran have set targets to generate 5% and 3.5% respectively from renewable sources by 2020. Bahrain, Iraq and Oman are some of the other Middle East countries which are exploring the feasibility of generating electricity from renewable sources.
