The Future of Electricity in the Middle East and North Africa Webinar
Add to calendar
Across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) – a region that has long been a cornerstone of the global energy system – electricity demand is surging, driven by cooling and desalination needs, as well as urbanisation, electrification and digitalisation. How countries meet this increased demand will have profound implications for both regional economies and global energy markets.
A comprehensive new IEA report, The Future of Electricity in the Middle East and North Africa, dives into these issues in detail for countries in the region, offering fresh data and analysis on how electricity demand could evolve through 2035 and how the supply mix is set to change.
This webinar for stakeholders will present the key findings of the report, followed by an interactive Q&A session with its lead authors.
"Demand for electricity is surging across the Middle East and North Africa, driven by the rapidly rising need for air conditioning and water desalination in a heat- and water-stressed region with growing populations and economies."
