Over the past decade, North Africa has made halting steps and achieved varying levels of progress toward developing its renewable energy capabilities. Wind and solar power, amongst other sustainable resources, offer promising opportunities for the region’s countries to contribute to the global energy transition while bolstering their economies and improving energy security on both sides of the Mediterranean. But issues of financing, governance, mismatched priorities, and fears of neo-colonial exploitation have, time and again, prevented the region from reaching its potential in this regard. To discuss the current state of renewable energy initiatives across North Africa, the Middle East Institute will be hosting an expert panel. The discussion will seek to answer the following questions and more: What obstacles do North African countries face in their path to a renewable energy transition? What practical policies could help mitigate these challenges and accelerate renewable energy adoption? How would increasing North African renewable energy exports reshape wider regional and global geopolitical dynamics? This event is part of a research project supported by the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS).
