Overview
A regional acceleration story is emerging in MENA: solar additions in 2025 and forecasts for a sharp storage ramp are being framed as key enablers for meeting (and potentially surpassing) renewables ambitions. At the same time, a separate global snapshot highlights that overall emissions have continued to rise since 2015, underscoring the gap between deployment momentum in leading technologies and the pace required for long-term targets.

Why now
- New 2025 MENA solar installation figures and capacity totals were published in a regional report.
- A fresh DNV outlook projects rapid storage scaling in MENA by 2030.
- A new McKinsey assessment flags rising emissions and slowing transition progress through 2024.
Why it matters
- MENA’s solar buildout and storage expectations signal a push toward higher renewables penetration.
- Global emissions growth highlights the gap between deployment progress and transition goals.
- Solar and storage are repeatedly positioned as leading growth technologies in multiple reports.

Recurring claims
- MENA solar deployment is accelerating, with 12.2 GW installed in 2025 and cumulative solar capacity reported at 34.5 GW.
- DNV expects MENA energy storage capacity to grow tenfold by 2030.
- A McKinsey report finds global greenhouse gas emissions increased 9% between 2015 and 2024 as the energy transition slows, while solar and storage remain primary growth drivers.
