In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, several notable developments in clean energy have taken place recently. The Iraqi Ministry of Oil partnered with TotalEnergies and QatarEnergy to establish a large-scale 1.25 GW solar project in Basra. This project, set to be completed between 2025 and 2027, will provide clean energy to around 350,000 households in southern Iraq. Meanwhile, Oman-based United Solar Polysilicon received support from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) for its $1.6 billion polysilicon facility project located in Sohar Port. This initiative, with an annual production capacity of 100,000 tons, is a significant step towards enhancing green energy production in the region. Algeria, aiming to reduce its dependency on conventional energy sources, has laid out plans to develop renewable energy and green hydrogen projects. With financial assistance from the European Union and the German Federal Ministry, Algeria is working towards integrating more renewable energy sources into its energy mix, targeting 27% by 2026 and installing 15 GW by 2030. Additionally, Shanghai Electric has collaborated with Masdar for the Sadavi solar project in Saudi Arabia under the National Renewable Energy Program. This project, part of Round 5, is expected to provide a total capacity of 2,000 MW and signifies a significant milestone for Shanghai Electric in the region's renewable energy sector.
