Why Efficiency..?
Energy Statistical Profile…Efficiency
• The results of the analysis show that the levels of energy use in RCREEE countries are generally higher compared to GDP than in other regions.
• High energy intensities will make industry in RCREEE countries uncompetitive and will expose the countries to potential oil price shocks and to large import bills for energy in some countries.
• There is a clear case for adopting enhanced policies for energy efficiency.

RE Opportunities• The Arab Region is endowed with:
• Abundant solar radiation.
• Long duration of sunshine.
• Good to excellent wind speed.
• Significant hydro power.
• Reasonable quantities of biomass energy.
• However, RE is still facing many barriers and constraints vis-à-vis large scale deployment in the region.
• Thus, the objectives of this paper is to capture promising opportunities, to point out the prevailing challenges and to show the trends of RE sector.
Energy Statistical Profile…RE Potentials

Solar Energy• The capacity of solar energy resources is excellent in all member
Countries with an annual global solar radiation varying between 4 to 8
kWh/m2.
• The region also enjoys high direct normal radiation and low average
cloud cover.
• Electricity production from both Concentrating Solar Thermal Power
(CSP) and Photovoltaic (PV) has a good potential, due to the fact that the
incident solar radiation on the region is higher than the required value of
(1800 kWh/m2/year).

Wind Energy
• MENA Countries have good potential of wind energy since most have an annual full load hours of over 1400 h/year, which is considered a long-term economic potential.
• Several countries such as Egypt and Morocco have a very good wind resources (wind velocity range between 8-11 m/sec)

Biomass Energy• Traditionally used widely in rural areas for small
purposes.
• MENA Region is arid/semi-arid in nature, thus small amount of forest and agriculture residues are available
• The biomass energy potential is mainly available for most Countries from municipal waste.

Hydro Energy
• Several countries in the region particularly, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria have hydro resource.
• The overall Share of hydro electricity is only 5.78% of the total electricity produced. This portion is very small compared to the available hydro potential in the Region.

Arab End Use Electrical Energy Efficiency Guideline • Set a 10 year EE target
• Assign an existing or a new public entity to draw a 3 year National Energy
Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP)
• Public sector to lead by example (exemplary role),
• Utilities to provide services or contributing to a fund
• 3 years progress report to be submittal to League of Arab states showing
the achieved savings

Barriers To RE&EE Deployment - Policies and Institutional
Barriers- Economic Barriers- SocialBarriers- Market and Financial Barriers
www.rcreee.org
Barriers To RE&EE Deployment
Policies and Institutional Barriers• The absence of an effective policies, legislations and regulations in
some cases,• Lack of favorable import for RE&EE products and components as well
as conducive policies to promote RE&EE developments; • Limited scope for R&D institutions to interface with international
bodies and to share expertise already existing within the sector; • Private Sector is heavily constrained by regulations• Regulatory measures are requested to stimulate market opportunities
and needs support to introduce innovative methodologies, attractive schemes, investment capital, and flexible financial mechanisms
www.rcreee.org
Economic Barriers• Generally high subsidies on oil and gas• Different level of taxation & customs for RE&EE equipment• Public sector RE&EE industry has no incentives to react to
market demand• No special incentives to promote RE&EE investment, • Unavailability of financial mechanisms and instruments
encouraging RE&EE manufacturing• The high cost of capital, and lack of access to capital &
financial institutions.
Barriers To RE&EE Deployment
www.rcreee.org
Social Barriers• Lack of Information about technologies • Energy has been available cheaply - no need to explore other
options• Lack of mainstream marketing of RE&EE options• Lack of priority for domestic R&D programs• Lack of training & education at university and professional or
vocational level • Eroded consumer trust• Domestic expertise are not sufficiently considered
Barriers To RE&EE Deployment
www.rcreee.org
Market and Financial Barriers
• Direct financial incentive for both users and investors in RE&EE do not existed;
• Limited/No grants or attractive interest rate for loans allocated to the purchase of RE&EE systems and equipments.
• The lack of a specific line of financing, in particular for the urban SWH market, no guarantee fund for investors.
• Most RE&EE companies are small size with limited financial capacities.
• Low competitiveness due to fossil fuels prices,.• No taxes reduction for RE&EE projects and importing.

Oriented Recommendation to face existing Challenges
-Benchmarking of policy - Policy-making- Policy support to large scale RE developments - A common policy for standards and labels
www.rcreee.org
Oriented Recommendation
Benchmarking of policy
• Benchmarking of policies will enhance the regional work towards promotion
of renewable energy and energy efficiency sector in the Arab region.
• This will facilitate the future coordination to achieve the addressed targets
and to deal with RE&EE issues as a region.
• Benchmarking should be done by:
Annual benchmarking within the RCREEE member states.
Benchmarking against international experience.
www.rcreee.org
Policy-makingPolicy making is one of the main important factor for the deployment of RE&EE.
This measure should take into consideration:
Structuring, compilation and processing of evidences
Development of indicators
Monitoring the development and the implementation
Evaluation of the results
Developing the policy-making if needed
Oriented Recommendation
www.rcreee.org
Policy support to large scale renewable developments
Large scale renewable energy projects need special support to be promoted
and disseminated, this support will include:
• Financial compensation mechanisms
• Industrial modernization
• Maximizing local content
• Fostering R&D linkages
Oriented Recommendation
www.rcreee.org
A common policy for standards and labels
Adopting a common policy for standards and labels; even for home appliances or
for building or any other sector; is one of the major instruments for future
coordination in RE&EE as a regional issue.
Such goal to be implemented through:
Strengthening regulatory compliance
Sharing assets (e.g. certification entities)
Developing a common label in the long-term
Oriented Recommendation
