Electricity and fresh water provision in MENA
Renewable Energies in the MENA Region Hans Müller-Steinhagen
Within 15 years, a well balanced electricity mix may lead to less expensive electricity than business as usual. Domestic sources reduce the import of fuels.
Solar electricity from concentrating solar power stations in MENA can provide firm capacity for base load, intermediate and peaking power.
The most efficient and economic way to transfer electricity from MENA to Europe is via high voltage direct current transmission lines, adding about 1.5-2 cents/kWh to the local generating cost.
By 2050, 700 TWh/y solar electricity could be imported from 20 locations in MENA at a cost of 5 c/kWh, providing about 15 % of European electricitydemand.
To establish and maintain such a trans-national HVDC electricity grid, strong political support will be required.
