How much solar power will MENA have by 2023?

Global solar power capacity increased by more than 25 times in this decade, from almost 23 GW at the beginning of 2010 to 617.9 GW anticipated by the end of 2020. Overall investment in the MENA energy sector could reach $1 trillion by 2023, with the power sector accounting for the largest share of the spending at 36%.

How much money will the MENA energy sector invest in 2023?

Overall investment in the MENA energy sector could reach $1 trillion by 2023, with the power sector accounting for the largest share of the spending at 36%. As the unit rate for solar energy investment is reducing year-on-year, a decrease in capital does not represent a slowdown in the industry (Figure 2).

Why are people moving to solar power in Yemen?

The migration to solar power is part of what researchers say is an energy revolution in the country of 28 million, where the electric grid has been decimated by fighting. More than 50 percent of Yemeni households rely on the sun as their main source of energy, and solar arrays power everything from shops to schools to hospitals.

Is solar power a lifeline in Yemen?

“For many in Yemen, especially for farmers, solar power has been a lifeline,” says Matt Leonard, who specializes in microfinance with IFC. “The key now is to scale up its use.” Yemen has long been the poorest country in the Middle East and North Africa, but a conflict that broke out in 2014 has pushed the country to the brink.

Can solar power save Yemeni rials?

Farmer Mohamed Ahmad Sid El Rassam can attest to those benefits. He built a solar-powered water pump on his land in the region of Beni Hocheich. The setup chopped his diesel use by more than 85 percent, saving him 17 million Yemeni rials ($68,000) a year.

Which countries are launching solar energy projects?

Projects in the pipeline are now tendered in Oman, Kuwait, Tunisia and countries incliuding Pakistan and Iraq are engaging their first large utility size projects. Renewable energy usage has been growing significantly over the past 12 months. This trend will continue to increase as solar power prices reach grid parity.
