RE capacity evolution in the SEMCs
3
RE technologies have been progressing at a c.a.a.g.r. of 10% over the last
ten years
Cumulative RE capacity in 2017 was more than double the amount of 2008
SEMCs host 2% of total RE capacity worldwide

Net electricity capacity additions by type
5
Natural gas is still dominating the electricity mix in terms of
cumulative capacity
However, net additions of hydro and non-hydro RETs were higher
than natural gas in 2017 vs. 2016 (5 GW vs. 4 GW)
RETs capacity grew by more than 24 GW since 2010, a net addition
of 3 GW per year

GDP and per capita indicators show a less concentrated
distribution
We start seeing the results of policies in place, e.g.:
Morocco, Lebanon

SEMCs slowly getting attractive

In 2017, RE investments in the SEMCs were 2% of the total,
about 20 times lower than China’s, 5 times less than in Europe
but larger than the investment size in Brazil
Egypt and Turkey attracted the largest investment flow in 2017,
but things are moving ahead in several countries (e.g.: Jordan,
Lebanon, Israel, Morocco)

RE Policy Framework in Algeria
15
National RE Plan issued in 2011 and revised in 2015
Main law for RE promotion is law No. 04-09 of August 14th of 2004,
setting a feed-in tariff scheme
An Executive Decree No. 13-218 of 18 June 2013 laying down the conditions
for granting premiums for the costs of diversification of electricity production
was adopted by the Government and published in Official Gazette No. 33 of 26
June 2013
A dedicated fund – National Fund for Renewable Energy and Cogeneration -
has been created for financing RE projects. The fund is financed by a 1% of
total oil royalties.
The Ministerial Orders of 2 February 2014 have fixed PPAs for production of
electricity from PV and wind plants with guaranteed tariffs for 20 years. Other
projects of other technologies will be financed after 2021 from 50% to 90%
based on the technology by the fund.
Institutional framework: Ministry of Energy and Mining is the main institution
responsible for energy issues. SKTM – Company of Electricity and Renewable
Energy, subsidiary of Sonelgaz - is the executing company. The Algerian
Electricity and Gas Regulation Commission (CREG) is responsible for defining
prices. Other institutions are: the Renewable Energy Development Centre
(CDER), New Energy Algeria (NEAL), Institute for Renewable Energy and
Energy Efficiency (IAER) and the Agency for the Promotion of the
Rationalization of the Use of Energy (APRUE).

What is NEEREA?
NEEREA is the National Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Action
•A national financing mechanism initiated by the Central Bank of Lebanon in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy and Water, the Ministry of Finance, UNDP, the EU, and the LCEC.
•It was officially launched with the issuance of Circular No. 236 by the Central Bank of Lebanon on 25 November 2010.
•Provides subsidized loans for any type of EE and/or RE projects to private sector entities (individuals, SME’s, or corporate bodies).
• Covers loans by any Lebanese commercial bank with 0.6% interest rate and a repayment period of up to 14 years, in addition to a grant amount released after the project is implemented.

• MEW sets the strategic guidance andpriority in energy efficiency and renewable energy
Architecture of NEEREA
• As the national financing institution, BDL sets the framework ofoperation and offers benefits to banks
• MoF defines the subsidies on interest rates for the different sectors ofthe economy
• EU has offered BDL a grant of 12 Million Euros to encourage SME’sin applying for NEEREA
• UNDP partnered with BDL to offer technical support, training,marketing, and awareness raising activities
• LCEC is the technical consultant to BDL, reviewing loan applications,and setting quality control criteria

RE Policy Framework in Morocco
28
An energy strategy was enacted in 2009, a law on renewable energy 13-09,
amended in 2016
RE targets: 42% of electric installed capacity by 2020 and 52% by 2030
An evolving institutional framework; the establishment of the Moroccan
Agency for Sustainable Energy (formerly known as the Moroccan Agency for
Solar Energy), the establishment of an energy investment company (SIE), and
the recent establishment of an independent electricity regulator (ANRE)
Main support scheme (Tendering): Rationale: i) search for the cheapest KWh
through competition and the involvement of the private sector, ii) reduce the
burden on state energy budget, and iii) embed local requirements to benefit
from socio-economic externalities
Other RE measures include: Net metering (EnergiPro for self-production at
HV), indirect subsidies through state-owned companies/agencies (ONEE &
MASEN), land allocation for wind and solar integrated programmes, etc…
Key success factors: an enabling regulatory framework with renewable
energy targets, a consolidated institutional framework, attractive financing
conditions through the involvement of several international financial institutions
and development banks (reducing risk and financing cost).
RE Deployment by Technology in Morocco
29
Solar
CSP
NOOR I: Technology - CSP trough; Capacity - 160 MW; Storage - 3 hours (operational since 2016)
Considered as a show-case of the CSP technology with storage in Morocco to gain experience and
draw lessons for future developments of similar projects in Morocco and in the whole region.
A public-private partnership, bringing together public institutions, private investors and the finance
community, including international financial institutions and development banks. This was key in risk
allocation among stakeholders.
Local industrial integration requirements: around 30%-35% - civil engineering , metal frames and
mounting structures, etc.
NOOR II: Technology - CSP trough; Capacity - 200 MW; Storage - >7 hours & NOOR III: Technology -
CSP Tower; Capacity - 150 MW; Storage - >7 hours. More experience is gained, including ready
workforce and economies of scale, especially benefiting from the already existing infrastructure
developed during the first phase. Further fall of cost, but still has not reached grid parity (Between 130
& 140 $/MWh). Status: testing phase and expected to be commissioned by end of this year 2018
Perspectives: NOOR Midelt – hydrid CSP/PV (evaluation of the bids on going), NOOR Tata, etc.
Solar
PV
NOOR IV: Technology – PV with tracking system; Capacity - 70 MW; (Price – around $40/MWh); Status:
Operational (October 2018). Perspectives: NOOR PV2
Wind Taza (150 MW): under development
The 850 MW auction was launched by ONEE (Office National de l’Electrcite et de l’Eau Potable).
Projects covered under this tender: (Midelt - 150 MW, Tanger - 100 MW, Jbel Ladid - 200 MW, Tiskrad -
300 MW, Boujdour – 100 MW). Awarded in March 2017, price competitiveness and local content
(attributed an important weight in scoring) were key in awarding the tender to the winning consortium.
RE Regulatory Framework in Tunisia
31
Main laws & regulations: Law No. 2015-12 on electricity production from
RE sources (May 2015), Decree No. 2016-1123 on the realization of projects
and sale of RE electricity (August 2016), and Orders on technical specifications
and contracts (February 2017).
RE Targets: increasing the share of RE in electricity generation to 30% in
2030, whereas it stood at only 3% in 2015. To achieve this target, Tunisian Solar
Plan (TSP) aims to achieve an installed RE capacity of 3,815 MW in 2030.
An evolving institutional framework including the Ministry in charge of energy
(Ministry of Industry and SMEs), National Energy Conservation Agency (ANME)
and the Tunisian Electricity and Gas Company (STEG).
Main support schemes :
Tendering: search for the cheapest kWh through competition and the
involvement of the private sector. Applied for Authorizations (RE projects
<=30 MW) and Concessions (RE projects >30 MW) regimes.
Net metering for self-generation at HV/MV and LV.
Other RE support measures include:
Subsidies through state-owned funds :
➢ Energy Transition Fund (FTE): for self-generation RE projects.
➢ Tunisian Investment Fund (FTI): targeting the authorizations &
concessions regimes projects.

Conclusions
34
SEMCs represent a minor share of RE capacity at global
level
Their energy mix is still largely dominated by fossil fuels
Although not dramatically, the rate of penetration of RE in
the power sector has been increasing in the past few
years, thanks to dedicated support measures and Energy
Transition/Climate policies associated with an evolving
regulatory framework
Record low levels of electricity price observed in some
countries for wind and solar PV
The reported case studies show deep commitment and
awareness of decision makers and stakeholders
Best practices at international levels applied to design the
regulatory regimes
