The Clean Energy Business Council is an association of leading local and international organisations, participating in the emerging renewable and low carbon energy sector within the Middle East & North Africa (MENA).
As developers, investors, and governments in the MENA region increasingly focus on sustainable energy solutions, an inclusive forum will help businesses and the public sector share ideas to promote the renewable and low carbon energy sector. As developers, investors, and governments in MENA increasingly focus on low carbon energy solutions, an inclusive forum will help businesses and the public sector share ideas to promote effective policies and best practices. A Steering Committee was established to develop the organization composed of representatives from: BP, Standard Chartered, GDF Suez, Conergy, Injazat Capital, RES Energy, GE and Latham & Watkins.

- Establish a leading forum for companies and government entities focused on the development and deployment of clean energy in the MENA region
- Promote the clean energy industry beginning to flourish in the region
- Establish skilled and knowledgeable national advisory bodies to work closely with government agencies in policy development and regulation of this rapidly developing and exciting sector
- Coordinate with stakeholders in the region to develop policy and regulatory frameworks to support clean energy developments
- Develop a series of strategic alliances with research institutions, international associations, media and others to drive the delivery of clean energy solutions for MENA
- Support and assist governments, industry and the community in the region to meet low carbon targets and sustainability goals
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has an opportunity to reinvent its energy sector and even its countries overall economies. Recent developments in renewable energy combined with the region’s latent potential in wind and solar power, could create significant advantage for those countries that move decisively to capitalise on them.
As renewable energy approaches cost parity with conventional sources, the MENA region could reap its numerous benefits: decreased pollution levels; reduced carbon emissions; better leverage of oil and gas resources for export or higher-value industries such as petrochemicals; and the creation of new skilled labour jobs.
