Ensuring electricity security in the Middle East & North Africa will be vital as demand rises and the power mix diversifies. A balanced approach to integrating renewables is needed – combining grid upgrades, storage and flexible thermal power → https://iea.li/3Kk3rBx

Global oil prices are down sharply this year – but the impact on demand varies greatly by country. Our recent commentary explores why advanced economies are responding more to recent price drops than emerging & developing markets 👉 https://iea.li/3K4jeUM

Planned policies in the Middle East & North Africa are expected to boost electricity generation from natural gas, renewables & nuclear to meet rising demand. As a result, oil's role in the power mix is set to shrink, impacting energy balances & emissions. Our new report includes detailed country-by-country analysis of the electricity sectors across the region 👉 https://iea.li/3K8zpk2
