The development of the electricity supply sector is characterised by an increasing share of renewable electricity. By 2050, 95% of the electricity produced in the Middle East will come from renewable energy sources. New renewables mainly wind, solar thermal energy and PV will contribute about 90% of electricity generation.
The installed capacity of renewable energy technologies will grow from the current 10 GW to 556 GW in 2050, a very large increase over the next 42 years requiring political support and well-designed policy instruments. Figure 6.66 shows the comparative evolution of the different technologies over the period up to 2050.
