Even leading oil producers like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are shifting away from fossil fuel power and investing in clean energy.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, the Arab League clean energy initiative pledged to increase the region&#8217;s installed renewable power generation capacity from 12 GW to 80 GW by 2030. The projects underway will increase the renewable energy generation capacity in Arab states in the Middle East and North Africa region to approximately 73GW in the next eight years, the report said. Global Energy Monitor is a United States-based non-governmental organization.<\/p>\n<p>The projects under construction would add 7.6 GW, while the projects in development or announced would contribute with 65.5 GW, the report said. <strong>Egypt<\/strong> is now the country in the region with the largest renewable energy capacity at 3.5 GW, followed by the <strong>UAE<\/strong> at 2.6%, <strong>Morocco<\/strong> (<em>pictured above<\/em>) at 1.9 GW, <strong>Jordan<\/strong> at 1.7 GW, and <strong>Saudi Arabia<\/strong> at 0.78 GW.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oman<\/strong>, Morocco, <strong>Algeria<\/strong> and <strong>Kuwait<\/strong> are some of the countries with the most ambitious plans to expand their solar and wind power capacity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-314111\">Fadel Senna\/AFP<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Projects aim to increase wind and solar energy capacity in the Middle East and North Africa from 12.1 to 73 GW by 2030.
