Solar power as an alternative does not accept waiting

Experts and specialists from the total dependence on oil for power generation is about to threaten the black gold for a number of Gulf States exports by 2025, in light of the growing demand for electricity in the region warned levels. They stressed the importance of investing in solar energy and other types of renewable energies intensify.
They demanded, on the sidelines of the investors, "alternative energy" field, which completed its work on Tuesday in the Qatari capital Doha summit, to expedite the provision of legal and legislative structure assist in the implementation of this model of the projects involved the generation of solar energy.
For his part, general manager of business development company to develop and manage industrial projects Limited Azzam Saleh Salem Saudi Arabia consume between 2 and 3.5 million barrels (ie 20 to 30% of total production) to generate electricity and gasoline, kerosene and diesel per day.
He said the island revealed that if Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE, for example, continued in the same consumption levels to meet the growing needs of electric power, and the estimated growth by 8% per annum on average, they will not find any oil in 2025 issued to foreign markets.

Hope.
While Salem confirmed that the Gulf states are conscious of the need solar investment and the establishment of specialized plants, but he cautioned at the same time the importance of the political will to accelerate the completion of the required, and to provide the necessary legislative base.
He expressed his belief that there is no reason to fear that the trend towards intensive investment alternative energies could threaten the future of the oil industry, stressing that 70% of oil use goes to manufacturing and motor fuels field, while alternative energies directed specifically to generate electricity.
He predicted Saudi Arabia needs to invest about 15 billion dollars to twenty horizon 2020 to generate electrical energy with a capacity of five gigawatts, representing a 5 to 10% of the total local needs.
No threat.
In a related context, the head of Qatar's Energy Research Institute and the environment researcher Dr. Mohammad Darwish said that the investment of solar energies does not pose any danger to the future of oil and gas, but it will help to guide these two commodities to ensure better uses for sustaining longer-term time frame.
He emphasized, to the island, that Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, for example, consume a great deal of oil production of electric energy sector, which feared him that they had all the production is consumed for this purpose from 2025 or 2028.
He warned that there is no Gulf region only a few solar power plants, some small and others are still securities, and attributed this to the insurance needs of the current electricity dominates the long-term thinking on the face of the challenges that will be raised over the next 15 years.
He pointed out that the establishment of a solar power plant to generate one hundred megawatts requires investment size of eight hundred million dollars, at a time as the need for each GCC country to about two thousand megawatts, which means that in his opinion the need to twenty additional station.
