The World Bank is participating with a $5.5 billion project to build solar power
plants in Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia. The fund for clean energy
from the the World Bank has invested in the past four years $750 million for the
construction of eleven solar thermal power plants in those five Arab countries.
They should produce approximately one gigawatt power and thus tripling the
current capacity of solar thermal power plants worldwide. Dii GmbH in Munich
confirmed their first reference project would be on Moroccan soil and signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Moroccan Agency for Solar
Energy (Masen).
Under the DESERTEC proposal, concentrating solar power systems, photovoltaic
systems and wind parks would be spread over the desert regions in Northern
Africa. Produced electricity would be transmitted to European and African countries.
It would provide a considerable part of the electricity demand of the MENA
countries (Europe, Middle East, Northern Africa) and furthermore provide continental
Europe with 15% of its electricity needs. By 2050, investments into solar
plants and transmission lines would be a total of 400 billion Euro.
In Algeria by 2030 there will be:
1) 7.200 Megawatts (MW) from solar power 2) 3.000 MW from photovoltaic
3) 2.000 MW from wind power
Secondly, Algeria has contact with the DESERTEC-programme within the frame
of the MENA-region. This has been agreed upon in December 2011 after which
a project to produce 1000 MW out of the renewable energy has been announced.
30% of the generated power will be transferred to Europe and the rest will be
used in Algeria. Algeria is planning that 40% of its energy demand will be covered
from renewable sources by 2030. Once the basis has been established for
renewable energy Algeria is planning to export 10 Gigawatts to Europe. The Algerian
Government has established a company with the name Sonil-Gaz to deal
with those projects. Sonil-Gaz will invest $20 billion over the next 20 years to
produce renewable energy. As one of the first projects they built a gas hybrid
power work in Hasse R`mel with 25 Watts which is generated by gas and a steam
combination power work with 130 MW. Until 2020: 6.000 MW solar energy will
be exported to Europe.
- The Lebanese Government developed a strategic plan to produce by 2020: 12%
of its total energy consumption which will come from solar/biofuel energy. In the
60ies of the last century Lebanon obtained part of its known energy from hydroelectric
power. Regrettably the currency of water is getting less and less. Therefore
the Lebanese Government is concentrating on approaching solar power. Wind
power might be possible in the Northern part of Lebanon.
-Jordan
Jordan has a renewable energy law that allows the private sector to “generate”
electricity from renewable resources. The law also allows the citizen to generate
his own electricity from his roof top. Currently, 27 international and local con-
sortiums have signed MoUs to build and operate electrical power plants using
renewables. The new law has created a renewable energy fund to support the
development in this new sector.
-Yemen
The Ministry of Electricity and Energy has adopted designing policies to develop
the production and exploitation of energy resources which aims at raising the
percentage contribution of renewable energy with its various available sources, in
particular solar energy to 15% of the total energy in the country until 2025. The
Cabinet Ministers in Palestine decided the new strategy. The pioneer programme
was for solar power (3 MW) and wind power (1 MW) to test how economical this
project will be based on which results it will be decided upon to expand on this
programme or not.
-Iraq
Utilization of solar energy for water heating in the domestic and the government
sectors is to provide hot water for 3 million subscribers in order to ease the load
on the national grid. It is expected to install 300.000 solar water heaters for the
period 2012 to 2015 with a total cost of $180 million.
-Qatar
a) The Qatar Natioanl Food Security Programme (QNFSP) and the German Aerospace
Center (DLR) have signed an agreement to mark its award of the “Solar
Resource Assessment” project.
b) Qatar Solar Technologies will build a polysilicon production plant worth $1
billion in Ras Laffa, North East Qatar. The plant will produce 8.000 metric tons
of polysilicon per year.
c) Solar Testing Facility together with Chevron and Green Gulf will invest up to
$20 million to establish the test facility.
d) Qatar will use solar thermal collectors to aircondition football stadiums
e) The Qatar National Convention Center will provide photovoltaic solar panels
which will contribute 12.5% to the total energy saving.
-Kuwait
The project is to create electric power through solar energy in combination with
the turbines in Al Abdaliyya (South of Kuwait). The produced energy: 280 MW
combines cycle plus solar energy.
Station Al-Shafayya (Southern Kuwait): 50 MW wind plus solar energy.
Electro solar station for the schools: 10 KiloWatt.
Electro solar cells on the Ministry of Labour ceiling: costs for electricity and water:
1.2 million Kuwaiti Dinars, the produced energy is 0.5 MW for both ministries.
Project to recycle the garbage into electrical energy: the produced energy will be
230 MW which will be needed to support the electric supply in Kuwait.
-In the UAE, Masdar have announced that they are well on the way to bringing
their $600 million solar power plant in Abu Dhabi online soon. Shams 1 will be
one of the world`s largest concentrated solar power plants, with a capacity of 100 MW.
