Harnessing the Sun: Trends, Insights, and Opportunities in the Middle East and Northern Africa

Harnessing the Sun: Trends, Insights, and Opportunities in the MENA Region

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, with its arid climate and high solar irradiation, offers exceptional potential for solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment. Drawing on in-depth market data from EUPD Research, this short study explores the evolving policy landscape and its impact on the renewable energy sector. By analyzing key trends and opportunities, it provides valuable insights into the intersection of sustainability, innovation, and economic growth across the region. While many countries in the region remain dependent on fossil fuels, initiatives in Oman, Jordan, and Egypt highlight ongoing efforts to diversify energy sources and accelerate renewable adoption. Oman is pursuing ambitious solar and green hydrogen projects, Jordan is working to reduce its reliance on imports through the expansion of renewables , and Egypt is advancing large-scale solar investments supported by government incentives. After a dip during the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual solar PV installations in the MENA region bounced back impressively, increasing from 1,526 MW in 2020 to 6,843 MW in 2024. This trajectory is projected to continue, with an estimate of 18,241 MW by 2026. These efforts signal a regional shift toward a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
