Middle East Energy Dubai, the most reputable and comprehensive energy event in the MENA region, took place at Dubai World Trade Centre from March 7th to 9th. Algeria’s energy planners and innovators participated and found unique opportunities to showcase their work to transition towards renewable energy.

Algeria’s bold new agenda to reduce natural gas consumption and conserve oil and gas export revenues by turning to renewable energy fueled game-changing government-to-government and private sector collaborations across the MENA region, according to Azzan Mohammed, the Exhibition Director, Middle East Energy Dubai.

Held under the patronage of HH Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, and hosted by the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, Middle East Energy Dubai, is a reputable and comprehensive energy event in the MENA region.

The event attracted over 18,000 energy professionals for a three-day conference featuring five key product sections: Smart Solutions, Renewable and Clean Energy, Critical and Backup Power, Transmission and Distribution, and Energy Consumption and Management.

The return of the live and in-person Middle East Energy Dubai was timely for Algeria, which is pushing to reach 30% of power generation from renewables by 2030 and to generate 25GW power from green and blue hydrogen by 2050 – a turning point for a country whose oil and gas export success provides more than 90% of its foreign revenues and 60% of its national budget.

With Algeria’s utility leader Sonelgaz attending the show as a VIP buyer, evidencing the country’s renewed commitment to building a renewable energy ecosystem, the comprehensive product portfolio and knowledge-sharing platforms at Middle East Energy Dubai opened important perspectives on conservation strategies and the development of hydrogen sectors.
