Assessment of Potential for Energy Integration in the Mashreq and the Neighboring Countries

The demand/supply balances of the countries in the Mashreq region show that large investments will be required in new generation capacity to meet rapid growth in electricity demands as well as to further support higher level of electricity exports for countries with abundant available fuel resources.

The proposed study constitutes Phase 1 of a two-phase activity. In this phase we concentrate on the assessment of energy demand and resources, and identification of potentials for energy integration in Mashreq countries. Phase 2 will carry out technical and economic analysis of identified energy trade and interconnection projects.
