Potential of Regional Integration, Less Investments to Meet Demand But Not Exploited Potential reduction in power generation capacity through regional integration among Arab Countries 6 Potenti al CAPEX savings Demand in Arab countries will grow 84% by 2020, requiring an additional 135 GW generation capacity Bottom line: power sector in Arab Countries needs significant investments (US$450 bn) w/o regional integration

8 Two Decades Ago, Low Share of Renewable Energy in the Energy Mix Consumption and share of renewable Energy in TFEC (1990-2010) Annual renewable energy sources growth in CAGR 1990-2010 Source: WB Data catalog SE4All Indicators, SEGEN Analysis Note: CAGR = Compound Annual Growth Rate, TFEC = Total Final Energy Consumption Data for 16 countries available for the calculation of Share of RE in TFEC. Share calculated using the average value of % share of RE in TFEC in each country and then aggregating

Two Decades Ahead, Ambitious RE Targets, Mostly Driven By Net-Oil Exporting Countries 9 Net Oil-Exporting Countries (NOEC), Net Oil-Importing Countries (NOIC) Source: MENA Renewables Status Report, 2013, by United Arab Emirates, IRENA and REN21

In 2010: Largest renewable energy consumption registered by Israel, Iran, Morocco, Iraq Source: WB Data catalog SE4All Indicators, SEGEN Analysis Note: Renewable energy in this slide excludes “Traditional Biomass”. Traditional Biomass is used for renewable energy calculations in Global Tracking Framework. Hence variations in result may occur

GAS DEVELOPME NT 14 in MNA

Major Share of Gas Reserves… but Rapidly Emerging Gas Shortage Arab countries hold about 29% of the world’s proven gas reserves. The region has been viewed as a source of gas supply to the world; In 1990s the gas rich countries of the region focused their efforts on: ► promoting the domestic use of gas through very low prices ► developing exports to points in Asia, Europe and North America ► export of gas through pipeline to other countries within the region A rapidly growing electricity demand has triggered an unforeseen growth in gas use in the power sector; As a result, every Arab country (except Qatar and Algeria) is short of the gas supply needed to meet its current and projected demand; Power sector has served as the main vehicle for switching from oil to gas. 15
16
16 Gas Pricing is a Major Bottleneck Low domestic gas prices have been an important deterrent to exploration and development of gas resources and gas trade within the region Low supply (lack of investments) Large resources undeveloped Excessive and inefficient demand Gas shortage Use of expensive fuels (HFO, CO…) instead of gas Huge loss for some States Several producers start to import ME NA EU 25 16 Domestic Gas Prices, 2010-2011 Source: GFFR

17 Our Approach and Guiding Principles for FY14-16 Engagement
18
Intertwined Energy Challenges in MNA Heavy reliance on fossil fuel resources for energy consumption- MNA region consumes 30 % of its fossil fuel production and exports the rest (climate change vulnerability and renewable energy issues); Net importing countries under fiscal pressure due to fuel prices volatility while oil exporters face increasing costs of energy subsidies (fiscal issues); Moving toward energy sector sustainability while managing/reforming high energy subsidies (5.7 % of MNA’s GDP in 2011) during political instability (sector sustainability issue); Lagging in implementing power sector reforms (governance, accountability, service delivery issues); Rapidly growing demand leading to under-capacity in some countries (energy efficiency issue); High pressure on existing infrastructure and high demand for new investments energy sources (security of supply and diversification of energy sources –including regional integration- issues); Turbulent transition intensified political and investments risks (private capital flow issues); Lack of access to electricity in Yemen (47%) % Djibouti (50%) as well as rural areas (about 28 million), and about 8 million rely on traditional biomass for their energy needs- (energy access issue) 18
19
We Believe These Challenges Bring Opportunities Governments priorities are changing towards higher energy security, energy sector sustainability, and economic benefits: ► More open to gradually tackle the issue of energy subsidies (innovative solutions are needed to carefully manage the “evolving” risks) ► Willingness to exploit energy efficiency opportunities (supply and demand) ► High potential for regional integration (alignment of regional and national interests to maximize the benefits) ► Would consider innovative solutions for technological diversification in energy sources (renewable energy) ► Many countries have close to 100% access to electricity but interest in solutions to modernizing power grids as well as off-grid electricity access is increasing However, tailoring energy solutions is needed to effectively exploit Bank products and global knowledge; 19

23
Regional Integration FY09-FY13 Mostly focused on assessments for potential electricity and gas trade within MNA and beyond such as the following key studies: ► Exploring the potential for electricity trade and interconnection between Yemen and GCC; ► Potential of energy integration in Mashreq and neighboring countries; ► Advancing the Integration of Mashreq Power Grids with Turkey, and Europe (at final stage); and ► Regional Gas Trade Projects in Arab Countries 23
24
In Summary … For the energy sector in MNA: ► an efficient, reliable, and low-cost energy sector is critical for equitable economic development; ► sound operational and financial performance is essential; ► improved capacity and governance are needed for better sector performance and ability to sectoral challenges; ► over time, strong need to reduce the fiscal burden of energy subsidies and to adopt pricing policies which foster investments and growth 24
