On the 21^st May, 2013, the Regional Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE) has published brief studies on its member states’ renewable energy and energy efficiency market. RCREEE’s thirteen Arab member states were ranked on fixed dimensions that include investments, institutional capacity, electricity pricing, future targets, and policies. The country profiles also analyze current and planned renewable energy projects.  The profiles provide a simple tool for policy makers, researchers, and investors to know more about Arab states’ readiness in the field. RCREEE will launch the profiles at the Arab Energy Efficiency Day to be held in 21^st May in Cairo.
The country profiles are based on the year 2012 data while tracking historical trends and future targets projection.  They cover Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen. Combining infographics and analysis, the profiles provide short – yet comprehensive- insights on each state’s energy market characteristics, energy generation and consumption, imports and exports, , electricity prices, and the extent to which energy from renewable resources are integrated with the national grid.
