A recent report by the Energy Industries Council highlights the Middle East's significant investment of $75.63 billion in renewable energy projects by 2030. These projects, including solar, onshore wind, hydropower, hydrogen production, and others, are expected to be operational between 2025 and 2030. Despite the exponential growth in clean energy investments, the region predominantly focuses on the oil and gas sector, with renewables receiving only 20% of energy investments. The report emphasizes the region's continued dominance in hydrocarbon production but also underscores the importance of transitioning towards renewable energy sources. Challenges in onshore wind power development are noted, while successful progress is seen in large solar projects like Rashid bin Mohamed Al-Makhtoum Solar Park Phase 5. The Energy Industries Council predicts that oil and gas will continue to dominate the energy sector for years to come, even as renewables gradually enter the mix. Ryan McPherson, the EIC regional director, highlights the organization's commitment to supporting the Middle East's energy transition through cleantech projects, reports, and industry events.
