The document discusses how to meet future energy demand in the Middle East. It notes that energy consumption is growing rapidly in the region due to economic and population growth. Countries in the GCC will need to double their energy capacity by 2019 to keep up with demand. To achieve this, the region will spend over $180 billion on new energy projects focused on areas like conventional generation, renewable energy, smart grids, and improving efficiency. Effective regional grid integration and cooperation are also emphasized as important strategies to enhance energy security and trade. Quality assurance measures will be necessary to ensure funds are spent properly on developing and maintaining the new infrastructure.
