Energy Demand and Supply

Regulatory Framework

Energy Access and Pricing

Technology

21

There are many commercially viable

opportunities in sustainable energy in Arab countries, but they

remain largely untapped

22

Do not need fiscal or financial

incentives

Do not need investment subsidies

Require minimal policy,

regulatory, legal, or

administrative adjustments

Contain potential for substantial

localization of the supply

chain

23

Barriers to Scale Up of Investment

• At all levels of the existence of these commercially viable opportunities

Low awareness

• To demonstrate the potential of these opportunities

Few success stories

• About the risk profiles and potential benefits of these technologies

Insufficient information

• That meet the three A’s (Appropriate, accessible, affordable)

Few financing options

• To assess markets and create business models

Weak local capacity

24

Private Investments Promotion Program

• To identify concrete, commercially viable opportunities in sustainable energy in the Arab region

• To promote these opportunities with the private sector through targeted awareness building campaigns in order to stimulate investment in these opportunities

• To facilitate access to appropriate and affordable financing options for the deployment of commercially-viable DG opportunities
