The challengeThe biggest challenge that lies ahead for
us all is the energy challenge, and the
Middle East is no exception.
Meeting the energy needs of the region’s
growing population and burgeoning
infrastructure requirements, demands
reliable and affordable energy. With a
strong local presence and a global network
Siemens is best placed to swiftly adapt to
the region’s needs, and take responsibility
in providing clean, efficient, cost-effective
energy for the Middle East.
We understand that challenge creates
opportunity. Join us in embracing the
opportunities as we collectively move
towards shaping a brighter, more
sustainable future.

The challenge is keeping pace withgrowing demand

The population of the Middle East is predicted to grow by
three per cent a year, almost three times faster than the
global average, with the region’s population coming close
to the 50 million mark.
This rapid population increase is occurring in parallel with
soaring rates of industrialization in the region. If the
current rate of industrialization continues, we will see a
shift in energy consumption from some 365.8 million
tonnes of oil equivalent (mtoe) usage in 2010, to a
forecasted 460.5mtoe in 2014, and that is for the GCC
alone.
Meeting this rapidly growing demand in energy is not an
easy task. Most countries in the region earn national
revenues by exporting fuel to the global market. Higher
domestic consumption means less energy for export. The
extraction of energy is technically becoming more
difficult; and requires cost-intensive investment.
Whatever the challenge, the generation of energy needs
to be as efficient as possible. Energy should be affordable,
available and safe to ensure a sustainable future for the
region. Clean electrification and converting energy
resources into electricity in the most fuel-efficient and
eco-friendly way possible are key in meeting this
challenge.
Siemens customer-specific solutions and innovative
technologies have been helping the Middle East region
meet the energy challenge for decades.
Getting the regional energy balance right.

Middle East...150 years in theFrom a small back building workshop in Berlin to a global firm - there are few industrial corporations that can look back on such a long history of success as Siemens can. We are today represented in more than 190 countries all over the world. The Middle East has been a key region for Siemens, ever since the company’s founder, Werner von Siemens, himself came to the region to lay telegraphic cables under the Red Sea.
