Our story
“This is the renewable energy event Egypt and the MENA region has
been waiting for.”
Eng. Eman Rashad Saeed | General Manager for Renewable Private Power Projects | Egyptian Electricity
Transmission Company (EETC)
According to the International Energy Agency, by 2021 renewable capacity in the MENA
region will grow by 78%, led by Egypt, the UAE and Morocco.
The market is rapidly maturing and the cost of production diminishing with the PV
pipeline in 2018 amounting to almost 12 GW. There are also 4.9 GW of large solar projects
under construction, including 1.8 GW in Egypt and nearly a gigawatt combined in Jordan
and Morocco.
Over the next three to five years, the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy, Egypt
plans to add 51.3 GW to current installed capacity. This is where The Solar Show MENA
comes in. The Solar Show MENA, which is co-located with The Wind Show MENA and The
Energy Storage Show MENA, is the renewable energy event the region has been waiting
for and will help to shape the energy market through sharing knowledge, educating the
market and facilitating influential meetings.
Bringing together 1000 stakeholders, including leading policymakers, utilities, local
industry heavyweights and international technology experts plus a buzzing exhibition,
there is simply no better place for you to connect with the industry.
In partnership with the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI), The
Regional Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE) and The Green
Economy Financing Facility (GEFF), our mission is to create a forum that is the industry
meeting place. The Solar Show MENA is where industry professionals come and learn
how to develop sustainable, clean and bankable world class energy generation projects
throughout the region.
Solar power looms large in the future of the MENA region and The Solar Show MENA
is the regional forum you have been waiting for. The MENA solar sector is open for
business, are you?

The International Finance
Corporation, a member of
the World Bank Group, has
recently approved a $660
million financing for the
construction of 500 MW of
solar power plants at the 1.8
GW Benban solar complex in
Aswan, southern Egypt. A 2000
MW target for private sector
generation with a new feed-in
tariff has also been announced.
Jordan has set a target of
installing 600 MW of solar PV
capacity by 2020 to reduce its
dependence on imported fossil
fuels, which would make up
10% of the energy mix.
REDPO part of the Ministry
of Energy, Industry & Mineral
Resources, has set an initial
target of generating 9.5
gigawatts of renewable energy
by 2023.
Oman is investing some
$2 billion in solar energy
production along with Swiss
and Middle Eastern partners
to generate approximately 400
MW. Oman is also building the
world’s largest solar steam
producing plant, Miraah, next to
the Amal West oilfield.
Dubai Electricity and Water
Authority (DEWA) has increased
its commitment to clean energy
development by tripling its
target for 2030, announcing it
will source 25% of its energy
from renewable sources, mostly
solar.
Target 3.5 GW of solar
capacity by 2027
Target 1.8 GW in renewables
target by 2020
Target 9.5 GW in renewables
by 2023
Target 2.65 GW renewable
target by 2024
Target 9.5GW of renewable
energy capacity by 2023

Morocco has launched one of
the world’s largest solar energy
projects costing an estimated
$9 billion. The aim of the
project is to generate 2,000
megawatts of solar generation
capacity by the year 2020. Five
solar power stations are to be
constructed.
Algeria plans to invite bids
for construction of three
photovoltaic solar power plants
with total capacity of about
4,000 MW. Algeria has set
a long-term target to have
13,500 MW of solar PV power
capacity by 2030.
The tender is the first in
a series planned by the
Tunisian government to install
around 1 GW of renewable
energy capacity in the period
2017-2020. Tunisia aims at
achieving 4.7 GW of renewable
energy capacity by 2030.
According to the Ministry of
Electricity and Water (MEW), by
2030, Kuwait’s energy demand
will triple, posing a challenge to
the energy generation sector’s
capacity. In order to diversify,
Kuwait set a renewable energy
goal to increase share of
renewable generation to 15%
by 2030.
In October 2016, the Bahrain
Government endorsed
Bahrain’s National Plan for
Energy Efficiency which seeks
a 6% national electrical energy
efficiency by year 2025. It also
calls for a 5% contribution from
renewable energies by the year
2025, rising further to 10% by
the year 2035.
Target 11 GW of renewable
energy by 2030
Target 13.5 GW in solar PV
by 2030
Target 4.7 GW in renewable
capability by 2030
Target 2 GW renewable
energy by 2030

The global market for stationary battery energy storage is set to experience tremendous growth by 2025 of
about 30 times its current size.
The key prerequisites for energy storage growth are increasingly materialising in the MENA region. As demand is
growing and competitiveness is improving, authorities and the private sector are increasingly acknowledging the
benefits energy storage can bring and offering frameworks for bankable and fair access to the energy market.
“The Solar Show MENA is an excellent opportunity to learn about
the latest technologies in Solar Energy and to meet Developers and
Manufacturers.”
Eng. Suhaila Maraf | Director, Department of Studies and Research | Kuwait Ministry of Electricity and Water
For governments across MENA, the emergence of an energy storage market opens up a new set of decisions
about how best to generate and distribute electricity. Energy storage capacity is expected to grow and costs are
decreasing - Bloomberg New Energy Finance expects battery technology to fall to $120 per kWh by 2030, from
$1,000 in 2010.
Co-located with The Solar Show MENA and The Wind Show MENA, we’re delighted to introduce The Energy
Storage Show MENA, in 2019.
Whether you’re looking at utility storage, C&I storage, micro-grid solutions, co-located solar and storage
solutions, or simply evaluating the opportunity this could represent for your business, you should join us
at the region’s most important renewable energy show.
