The Renewable Energy Partnership Experience EUMENA & Its Impact on MENA Countries

Most of today’s power generation is achieved by consuming stored fossil fuel or nuclear energy non-renewable sources that can provide electricity. Consuming those stored energy reserves of the Glob resulted in quick depletion and their remains contaminate the planet. However, the renewable energy (RE) supply comes with a variety of benefits beyond the satisfaction of energy needs. It has a long-term cost advantage. Although the investment in RETs is still high as compared to the conventional fossil fuels usage, but according to the latest statistics it will be competitive even before 2025. Therefore, a renewable energy partnership shall be established between countries having good RE resources and countries with high electric energy consumption Europe, Middle East and North Africa. This paper aims to describe the scenario of the partnership between Europe, Middle East and North Africa (EUMENA) and experience their roles. This research shed the light on the main factors affecting electricity and water consumption, available resources & technology options, the advantages and obstacles facing MENA countries.
