Iraq and the U.S.  have signed agreements for multiple energy projects with a combined capacity of 24,000 MW in the Middle Eastern country. Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity and U.S. company UGT Renewables also signed a memorandum of understanding to establish a 3,000 MW integrated solar energy project.

Egypt and France entered into a €7 billion ($7.6 billion) agreement to develop a large-scale green hydrogen and ammonia production complex near Ras Shokeir on the Red Sea coast. EDF Renewables and Zero Waste will lead the project in partnership with Egypt’s General Authority for the Red Sea Ports and its New and Renewable Energy Authority. The project targets producing up to 1 million tons of green ammonia annually in three phases starting in 2029.

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority announced that 47 international companies have been interested in developing the seventh phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. Based on the independent power producer model, this phase will have a project exceeding 1,600 MW and a 1,000 MW battery storage system providing 6,000 MWh of storage capacity. This project is aimed at increasing the share of clean power in Dubai’s energy mix to 34%.

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has installed solar energy systems across 22 buildings and facilities. These installations are projected to generate approximately 32 million kWh of energy annually. The solar panels have been installed at bus depots, passenger bus stations, maintenance workshops, and metro depots. The solar systems were customized to meet the specific needs of each building and facility.

Morocco will construct a 1,600 MW energy storage facility in its northwest region to support its expanding renewable energy program. Utilizing large-scale batteries, the project will supply power to the city of Kenitra and its surrounding areas. The National Office for Electricity and Drinking Water will invite bids for the facility’s design, operation, and long-term maintenance, with phased commissioning expected to begin in 2026.
