Powering the Future: Pioneering Renewable Energy Projects in the GCC

Executive Summary

Over the past decade, the GCC countries have accelerated their transition towards sustainable energy, spearheading ambitious renewable energy projects in solar, wind and nuclear technologies.  Landmark initiatives such as Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and UAE’s Energy Strategy 2050 are expected to position GCC countries as global leaders in sustainable energy development. Significant investment in renewable energy projects is likely to bear fruit, creating numerous employment opportunities in installation, maintenance, research and development, and energy management, which would in turn enable economic diversification and support skilled green workforce development.
