\n\t\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The meeting highlighted the increasing importance of renewable energy in facilitating the prospects for a sustainable future. The Gulf, in particular, has a key role to play in the transition to a diversified energy system, with its vast solar and other renewable resources.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As underlined by Mona Al Madeed, Manager of the Directorate for Strategic Planning and Policy of Qatar Petroleum, “Renewable energy is an important source of energy for many factors. The most important is energy diversification and economic diversification, and the invaded demand for power generation and water desalination.”<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Abdulrahman Al Ghabban, from the King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy (KACARE, Saudi Arabia) predicted a huge growth from now until 2032 -to respond to the increased demand for energy- adding, \u201cWe hope to contribute a large amount of the new required capacity from alternative energy\u201d.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In order to meet growing domestic demand and to promote sustainable energy use, nearly all GCC countries have set renewable energy targets, and a growing number of large-scale solar projects are being developed across the region.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “Many of our utilities and the policy makers are not aware of the cost of renewables. We see a huge drop in prices. Awareness is really one of the main things we have to start working on. We need to ensure a fair evaluation of projects”, commented Dr Thani Al Zeyoudi, of the UAE\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs\u2019 Directorate of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 IRENA is also releasing its newest set of \u201cRenewable Energy Country Profiles\u201d for the Middle East, the latest in a series of regional profiles that include Africa, the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
