London, UK — The Middle East is moving towards investing $75.63 billion in renewable energy projects until 2030, according to a new report.
The report, released today by the Energy Industry Council, showed that these investments include 116 renewable energy projects, which are expected to be operational between 2025 and 2030.
These projects include solar generation, onshore wind, hydropower, hydrogen production, carbon capture, use and storage, geothermal energy, energy storage systems and batteries.
Large solar projects, such as the fifth phase of the Rashid bin Mohammed Al Maktoum Solar Park, are making significant progress.
