Integrating Saudi Electricity into Regional Markets

‘With rapidly growing electricity consumption in the region, the development of an integrated electricity market has the potential to offer a multitude of benefits to the participating countries. However, to realize these potential benefits, understanding and addressing a wider set of economic and political challenges is required. This workshop will focus on exploring the policy, legislative, regulatory and system operation dimensions of developing an integrated electricity market and cross-border electricity trade in the GCC and MENA context.’
