The briefing reports that Arab nations are rapidly expanding renewable energy, with current combined solar and wind capacity exceeding 12 GW. It identifies Egypt and the UAE as current leaders, while Oman, Morocco, and Algeria are emerging as major players with ambitious future projects. The region is increasingly focusing on giant-scale projects and green hydrogen production for export to Europe, with some projects, like Oman's 'Al Wusta', aiming for world-leading storage capacities.

• The Arab region currently produces over 12 GW of wind and solar energy, consisting of 4.7 GW from wind and 7.4 GW from solar power.
• Arab countries are planning solar and wind projects with a total capacity of 73.4 GW, with 60.9 GW expected to be produced by 2030. If current projects are completed on schedule, the region will reach 91% of the 80 GW target set by the Pan-Arab Clean Energy Initiative for 2030.
• Egypt is the leading Arab country in total combined capacity with 3.5 GW, while the UAE leads in solar production with 2.6 GW. Egypt is expected to reach a total of 6.8 GW by 2024.
• Oman, Morocco, and Algeria are identified as emerging leaders. Oman's projected capacity from solar and wind is 15.3 GW, Morocco's is 14.4 GW, and Algeria's is 10 GW.
• The region is developing massive green hydrogen and ammonia projects for export, including Oman's 'Al Wusta' project with a 25 GW capacity (expected 2038), Saudi Arabia's 'NEOM' project with 4 GW (expected 2026), and Morocco's 'Total Eren-Guelmim Oued Noun' with 10 GW.
• Morocco is developing the Xlinks project with a capacity of 10.5 GW to supply electricity to the UK grid via a subsea cable, which is expected to create approximately 2,000 jobs in Morocco.
• Algeria aims to add 1 GW of renewable energy annually, with a goal of 15 GW by 2035. The government is encouraging foreign investment by privatizing the renewable energy market and exempting these projects from certain capital ownership restrictions.
