This report presents the results of the study that covered 22 Arab states and asseses their renewable energy sector.

It provides an updated overview of the renewable energy situation in the countries, an assessment of the region’s renewable energy resource potential, current installed renewable energy capacity and project pipeline, national renewable energy targets, institutional and market frameworks for renewable energy deployment, and an assessment of local manufacturing potential. An overview of renewable energy financing in the region and support policies for private sector investment is also presented. The report analyses the main gaps concerning renewable energy deployment in the region. A set of actions is proposed as a roadmap for individual Arab countries to fill their gaps and help achieve their national targets. The report argues that more is possible beyond the national targets of the power sector as well as in the end-use sectors.
