A MEED Live Webinar

With about $310bn worth of power generation projects at the planning or tendering stage across the Middle East and North Africa, the region’s energy sector is set to provide abundant new business opportunities in the coming years for investors, contractors and suppliers.

But everyone involved in Middle East energy must also be prepared for the considerable challenges that will accompany the opportunities.

The region’s energy sector is going through a period of profound change. Energy sector reforms have resulted in the slashing of subsidies at the same time as the private sector is being invited to design, build, finance and operate power supplies.

In parallel, the drive for greater energy security is boosting heavy investment in alternative and renewable energy projects.

Join MEED’s team of Middle East market experts in the latest live-streamed webinar from MEED Live on 9 July as they discuss the outlook for the energy sector in the Middle East and North Africa.
