EuroMed Energy Cooperation & the Mediterranean Solar Plan: A unique opportunity for a fresh start in a new era?

Documentos CIDOB Mediterráneo y Oriente Medio, n.º 17

The Mediterranean Solar Plan (MSP), the Union for the Mediterranean’s (UfM) flagship initiative, has faced the challenge of unfavourable investment conditions in most Southern Mediterranean countries and also, since 2011, sudden and historical poli-tical changes and tensions. The MSP objectives to reach 20 GW of solar capacity by 2020 and bring substantial economic and social benefits for those countries are at stake. This paper examines the conditions and options for a highly effective and coherent MSP through domestic energy reforms with the support of the EuroMed energy cooperation.
