From January 14 to 16, 2025, the World Future Energy Summit (WFES) was held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC). As the most influential sustainable energy event in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, the summit brought together policymakers, industry leaders, and technical experts from around the globe to discuss opportunities and challenges in the global energy transition.
As a global leader in solar intelligent manufacturing solutions, SC Solar showcased its latest high-efficiency solar module automation production lines, fully automated electromagnetic heating multi-layer laminators, fully automated unmanned packaging lines with intelligent warehousing, and perovskite high-efficiency cell manufacturing solutions. This comprehensive display highlighted SC Solar’s technological leadership in the field of solar intelligent manufacturing.
Policy-Driven and Project-Powered Middle East Solar Market
With abundant sunlight and continuous policy support, the MENA region has become a burgeoning growth hub for the global solar industry. According to MESIA, the region’s cumulative solar capacity is expected to reach 180 GW by 2030. The UAE and Saudi Arabia, with their mature solar project development models, continue to lead renewable energy transitions in the region.
In recent years, the UAE has bolstered its solar sector with ambitious policies and large-scale projects. Its “2050 Energy Strategy” aims to achieve 44% of clean energy in its energy mix by 2050, supported by a total investment of $163.7 billion. Mega projects such as Noor Abu Dhabi have significantly increased the region’s solar capacity. Additionally, initiatives like net metering and feed-in tariffs (FIT) are set to further drive capacity growth in the coming years, solidifying the UAE’s leadership in regional energy transition and setting a global benchmark for clean energy development.
