There are many
commercially viable
opportunities in
sustainable energy in
Arab countries, but they
remain largely
untapped

22. 22
Do not need
fiscal or
financial
incentives
Do not need
investment
subsidies
Require
minimal policy,
regulatory,
legal, or
administrative
adjustments
Contain
potential for
substantial
localization of
the supply
chain

23. 23
Barriers to Scale Up of Investment
• At all levels of the existence of these
commercially viable opportunities
Low
awareness
• To demonstrate the potential of these
opportunities
Few success
stories
• About the risk profiles and potential
benefits of these technologies
Insufficient
information
• That meet the three A’s (Appropriate,
accessible, affordable)
Few financing
options
• To assess markets and create
business models
Weak local
capacity

24. 24
Private Investments Promotion Program
• To identify concrete, commercially viable
opportunities in sustainable energy in the Arab
region
• To promote these opportunities with the
private sector through targeted awareness
building campaigns in order to stimulate
investment in these opportunities
• To facilitate access to appropriate and
affordable financing options for the deployment
of commercially-viable DG opportunities
