The study is conducted in the context of the World Bank Arab World Initiative. Although the present study focuses on Mashreq countries, issues of regional integration are intertwined among various Middle East and North Africa (MENA) sub-regions, and Turkey with eventual integration with Europe, so Mashreq is not considered in isolation. There are two other parallel efforts to examine the energy integration potential in the Maghreb and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. In addition, the World Bank and its partners are implementing a major solar power initiative with support from the Clean Technology Fund (CTF) to assist the MENA countries with development of large scale concentrated solar power (CSP) electricity generation capabilities for their own use or for export to other countries. Large scale development of solar power is expected to support and facilitate regional integration among MENA countries and with Europe as well.CC BY 3.0 IGOALTERNATIVE FUELSASSOCIATED GASAVAILABILITYBALANCEBARRELCARBONCLEAN ENERGYCOMPRESSED NATURAL GASCOST OF ELECTRICITYCOST OF GASCOST OF GAS SUPPLYDELIVERY OF GASDEMAND FOR ELECTRICITYDEMAND FOR POWERDEMAND FORECASTDEPLETION PREMIUMDIESELDIESEL OILDISTRIBUTION COMPANYDOMESTIC GASDOMESTIC OILDOMESTIC SUPPLYDOMESTIC USEELECTRIC ENERGYELECTRIC GENERATING CAPACITYELECTRIC POWERELECTRIC UTILITIESELECTRICITYELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONELECTRICITY DEMANDELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTIONELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY GENERATION CAPABILITIESELECTRICITY INDUSTRYELECTRICITY PRICESELECTRICITY PRICINGELECTRICITY SALESELECTRICITY SECTORELECTRICITY SUPPLYELECTRICITY SYSTEMELECTRICITY TARIFFELECTRICITY UTILITYENERGY CONSERVATIONENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY CONVERSIONENERGY DEMANDENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY INFORMATION ADMINISTRATIONENERGY MANAGEMENTENERGY MARKETENERGY MARKETSENERGY POLICYENERGY PRICEENERGY PRICINGENERGY PRODUCERENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY PRODUCTSENERGY RESEARCHENERGY SECURITYENERGY STRATEGYENERGY SUPPLYENERGY SYSTEMSENERGY TRANSMISSIONENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL QUALITYFOSSILFOSSIL FUELFOSSIL FUEL USEFUELFUEL CONSUMPTIONFUEL COSTFUEL FOR POWER GENERATIONFUEL REQUIREMENTSFUEL SUPPLYFUEL TYPEGASGAS ACTIVITIESGAS ALLOCATIONGAS AND ELECTRICITYGAS AVAILABILITYGAS COMPANYGAS CONSUMERSGAS CONSUMPTIONGAS DEVELOPMENTGAS DISTRIBUTIONGAS EXPLORATIONGAS EXPORTSGAS FIELDGAS FIELDSGAS FLOWGAS IMPORTGAS IMPORTINGGAS IMPORTSGAS INFRASTRUCTUREGAS INPUTGAS NETWORKGAS OILGAS PIPELINEGAS PIPELINE SYSTEMGAS PLANTSGAS PRICEGAS PRICESGAS PRICINGGAS PRODUCTIONGAS PROGRAMGAS RESERVESGAS RESOURCESGAS SALESGAS SECTORGAS SECTORSGAS SUPPLIESGAS SUPPLYGAS SYSTEMSGAS TURBINEGAS TURBINE TECHNOLOGYGAS TURBINESGAS USEGAS UTILIZATIONGAS-FIRED POWER STATIONSGASIFICATIONGAS· FIELDSGENERATING CAPACITYGENERATION CAPACITYHEAVY FUEL OILHIGHER GASHYDROELECTRIC OUTPUTHYDROPOWERINCOMEINTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCYKILOWATT HOURLIQUEFACTIONLIQUID PETROLEUMLIQUID PETROLEUM GASLNGMILLION BARRELSMILLION TONS OF OILMINERALMINERAL RESOURCESNATIONAL ENERGYNATURAL GASNATURAL GAS DEMANDNATURAL GAS LIQUIDSNATURAL GAS MARKETNATURAL GAS PRICENATURAL GAS RESERVESNATURAL RESOURCESNEW PLANTSNUCLEAR MATERIALSNUCLEAR PLANTSNUCLEAR POWERNUCLEAR POWER PLANTSOILOIL AND GASOIL AND GAS SECTOROIL COMPANYOIL EQUIVALENTOIL PRICESOIL PRODUCTIONOIL PRODUCTSOIL WELLSPEAK DEMANDPEAK ELECTRICITY DEMANDPETROLEUMPETROLEUM CORPORATIONPETROLEUM GASPETROLEUM OILPIPELINEPIPELINE COSTPIPELINE PROJECTSPIPELINE TRANSPORTATIONPOWERPOWER COMPANYPOWER FACILITIESPOWER GENERATING CAPACITYPOWER GENERATIONPOWER GENERATION CAPACITYPOWER GENERATORSPOWER GRIDSPOWER PLANTPOWER PLANTSPOWER PRODUCERPOWER SECTORPOWER SECTORSPOWER STATIONPOWER STATIONSPOWER SYSTEMPOWER SYSTEMSPOWER UTILITIESPRICE OF GASPRIMARY FUELPRIVATE SECTORPUBLIC UTILITIESRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENTRENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCESRENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESRETAIL ELECTRICITYRURAL ELECTRIFICATIONSECURITY OF ENERGY SUPPLYSOLAR ENERGYSOLAR POWERSOLAR RADIATIONSOURCE OF ELECTRICITYSTEAM TURBINESSUBSTATION INVESTMENTSTHERMAL POWERTHERMAL POWER GENERATIONTHERMAL POWER PLANTTHERMAL UNITTRANSMISSION CAPACITYTRANSMISSION COMPANYTRANSMISSION CONSTRAINTSTRANSMISSION INTERCONNECTIONTRANSMISSION LINETRANSMISSION LINESTRANSMISSION SYSTEMVOLTAGEWHOLESALE PRICEWHOLESALE PRICESWINDWIND ENERGYWIND FARMWIND FARMSWIND TURBINESWORLD OILWorld Bank10.1596/2917
