The Mediterranean region, strategically located at the crossroads of Africa, Europe and the Middle East, has the potential to take a leading role in the global energy transition 3

The abundant renewable resources of the Mediterranean basin provide significant prospects for renewable power expansion and electrification 3

Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia boast 2 300 gigawatts (GW) of renewable capacity potential, with solar PV and onshore wind accounting for 1 500 GW 4

Competitive green hydrogen and its derivatives may represent key assets in the region’s energy transformation 5

IRENA’s MED-Optimised Scenario (MOS), which is aligned with the 1.5°C Paris Agreement target, envisions a promising development trajectory in the Mediterranean, building on more affordable and secure energy provision 5

Projections for energy demand in the European Union show steady but significant growth in electricity and hydrogen consumption, creating new markets for exporters 6

The expansion of regional electricity interconnections will bring new economic opportunities, strengthen the resilience of electricity grids and enhance energy security for the southern littoral countries of the Mediterranean 6

This power system development will require a reliable clean technology supply chain that can open further growth opportunities in the region 6

Specific policies and deeper regional co-operation are both crucial to trigger the investments in infrastructure required to deliver a successful energy transition 7

Significant investments in transmission infrastructure, energy storage, and green hydrogen production and transport, are all essential for building a robust and resilient energy system 7
