In an exclusive interview with EGYPES News, Dr. Houda Ben Jannet, General Director of OMEC, discussed the organization's crucial role in promoting regional collaboration on energy transition goals across the East Med and Africa. OMEC, with over 35 years of experience, brings together leading energy companies from different Mediterranean regions and acts as a think tank for the Euro-Mediterranean region. The organization conducts in-depth analyses and coordinates research projects, particularly in renewable energy, to advance energy transition goals. OMEC advocates for sustainable energy access by emphasizing infrastructure development, modernized grids, and renewable installations, urging significant investment and supportive policies. The organization works closely with governments and stakeholders to address regulatory gaps and capacity limitations, fostering partnerships through platforms like the UfM and EMGF. Furthermore, OMEC supports member countries in integrating renewables by providing expertise, actionable insights, and practical guidance through publications like the Mediterranean Energy Perspectives. The organization focuses on adapting power systems to accommodate solar and wind energy intermittency, conducts studies on energy storage, and collaborates with regional organizations to enhance interconnections and regulatory frameworks. At EGYPES 2025, OMEC intends to share insights from the Mediterranean Energy Perspectives, highlight challenges and opportunities in the energy sector, and propose strategies for a sustainable energy future in the region. The organization's engagement at the event reflects its commitment to driving regional energy transition and fostering partnerships for a sustainable energy future.
