Gas and oil make up two-thirds of Azerbaijan's GDP, making it one of the top ten most fossil fuel-dependent economies in the world. Azerbaijan has some renewable energy projects. These include hydropower, wind, and solar and biomass power plants. The country's currently installed renewable energy capacity is 4.5 MW. Azerbaijan began installment of its first major solar plant in 2023. The government of Azerbaijan aims to increase. [pdf]

• The Sakaka solar plant is located in Sakaka City, Saudi Arabia. Construction on the project began in November 2018 and the project finished in November 2019. The plant produces roughly 900 GWh of electricity per year, which mitigated the release of 600,000 tons of carbon dioxide. Additionally, Sakaka powers over 75,000 homes. • Conergy is a Germany-based solar energy company that wanted to branch out into the Saudi Arabian market. Conergy believes that Saudi. [pdf]
It was projected to be composed of 25 GW of solar thermal, and 16 GW of photovoltaics. At the time of this announcement, Saudi Arabia had only 0.003 gigawatts of installed solar energy capacity. A total of 54 GW was expected by 2032, and 24 GW was expected in 2020, which was never reached.
Saudi companies that are part of multinational groups such as Ikea and GSK have deployed solar power at the encouragement of their parent companies, which have sustainability goals. Meeting such expectations has also been a factor for other Saudi groups, including logistics and transport businesses, that have links to western markets.
But experts say the critical factor driving recent solar take-up may be the phasing out of energy subsidies that began in 2018 as part of wider economic reforms, which included the rollout of large-scale renewable projects. “We invested in solar and actually it’s paying back,” said Mazen Fakeeh, president of Fakeeh Care Group.
Chinese investments have played a key role in lowering solar costs. Roughly one-third of $21.6 billion in greenfield FDI from China into Saudi Arabia since 2021 has gone to clean technologies, including solar components. But the biggest shift has come from within.
This compares to a global solar power installation of 100 GW in 2017 and a total installed capacity of 77 GW in Saudi Arabia in 2016. This project was cancelled in September 2018.

Oman has committed to net zero emissions by 2050. The government is looking to expand its electricity-generation capacities through renewable independent. . Green hydrogen, solar IPPs, wind, and solar power projects are leading sub-sectors in Oman’s renewable energy sector, and they have created opportunities. . Oman’s state-owned entities are set to issue tenders, presenting opportunities for existing providers of clean energy technology and financiers of large. [pdf]
In October 2022, MEM unveiled a Green Hydrogen Strategy and announced the formation of Hydrogen Oman (Hydrom), a subsidiary of state-owned Energy Development Oman, to oversee development in the sector. Oman is targeting $140 billion of investment in the green hydrogen industry and hopes to achieve production of 1 million tons per year by 2030.
PWP about to finalise a strategic study which identified the most optimun generation mix for Oman up to 2040. For the next Solar PV IPP PWP exploring the options to include a small scale BESS; co-located with the PV Plant. The main purpose is for frequency control and to inccrease the plant availability during the ramp-up and ramp down moments.
Commercial operations of Oman’s largest utility-scale solar photovoltaic, independent power project, Ibri 2, started in January 2022. Oman Power and Water Procurement Company (OPWP) awarded the project to a consortium of Saudi and Kuwaiti firms, for which Beijing-based Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) loaned $60 million.
The Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology (MTCIT) announced in its 2023 plan that Oman will phase out fuel-operated vehicles and ensure that 79 percent of vehicles in the country by 2035 are electric. According to the ministry’s estimates, Oman will have at least 22,000 new electric vehicles (EV) by 2040.
