Primary energy demand within the Mediterranean Partner Countries is predicted to increase by 70% in the next 20 years. These countries have a significant renewable energy potential, mainly of solar energy, which, if intelligently exploited, can contribute to matching their increased future demand (both in the field of electricity and heat) and can furthermore generate income for these countries, e.g. by exporting part of the electricity produced from renewables to the EU. On the other hand, the EU Member States have a long-lasting track record of promoting renewable energy deployment and have agreed on reaching a RES objective of 20% by 2020. A Mediterranean Solar Plan to enable the development and massive deployment of renewable energy technologies in the Mediterranean region is currently under development in the framework of the Union for the Mediterranean, its current state of play and key-conditions for success were debated during this conference.
