MENA region hits 24 GW (AC) of total solar capacity
It said that Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Oman and the UAE are key players in developing battery energy storage
Carrying a minimum requirement of 17% local content as calculated by the mechanisms defined by the Local Content & Government Procurement Authority (LCGPA), six projects for a total of solar PV capacity of 1.47 GW, divided into two categories were tendered.
Currently, the construction of four additional new solar power plants with a capacity of 200 MW is engaged on site. Kom Ombo PV Solar Project, In October 2019, the EETC signed a solar PPA with a developer for a 200 MW plant at a price of $0.0275 per kWh that is expected to be completed in Q1 2021.
The Middle East is expected to emerge as the second fastest growth center at a CAGR of 15.8% globally. Strong growth prospects in the Middle East augur well for the development of an ecosystem that comprises of demand for products, solutions and services which would result in opportunities and participation from global and local companies.
Floating Solar, Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and Organic thin-film Photovoltaics are emerging in the industry, bringing in several advantages. However, many challenges are emerging to implement those technologies. Many MENA countries are looking to energy storage.
