This study “North Africa’s Power Shift” by The Middle East Institute aims to highlight current developments, challenges, and opportunities regarding the development of renewable energy in North Africa. To this end, the research and analysis delves into the dynamic and diverse energy landscapes of five North African countries — Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia — highlighting the distinct pathways each nation is pursuing to tap into its renewable energy potential.
In addition to the individual country chapters, the report also explores three overarching themes crucial to the region’s energy future: the water-energy nexus, which is vital in a water-scarce region; the evolving role of climate finance in enabling the green transition; and the potentials and challenges surrounding regional cooperation in the context of the energy transition. These thematic insights offer a broader perspective on how collaboration across national borders and sectors can address shared challenges and unlock synergies in the pursuit of the energy transition.
