“…Renewable energy in the GCC has additionally been an ongoing topic of academic interest with many authors considering policies that could stimulate renewables adoption [3,41,[49][50][51][52][53][54] and further developing economic top-down and technological bottomup models to simulate policy impacts [55][56][57][58][59]. These studies show that while the current deployment of renewable energy in the GCC is very minimal, the opportunity is large, particularly for solar energy.…”

“…Stated targets must, therefore, be supported by defined policies and regulations that reflect regional context, and thus have the highest likelihood of achieving stated ambitions. Although a body of literature does exist on the topic of renewable energy policy in the GCC [2][3][4][5][6], it generally does not seek to identify the optimal regional policy framework based on underlying motivations for regional energy system diversification and the most recent trends in global renewable energy policy. Hence, this paper reviews global trends in renewable energy policy and then specifically focuses on the application these trends to the GCC.…”

“…One well known RE project in Bahrain is the three parallel wind turbines at the Bahrain World Trade Centre. There is a proposal by the University of Bahrain for a mobile solar desalination unit (1.5 kW) capable of producing 250 gallons of water [16]. Already, 0.5 MW solar electricity has been installed at the University of Bahrain (Figure 3a) [16].…”

“…Over the last 3 decades, some valuable research has been conducted to understand the challenges and opportunities for RE deployment in the Arab States of the Gulf. A great deal of coverage in the academic and practitioner literature has been extended to technological, economic, and institutional (such as policy, regulatory, and legal frameworks for renewables) aspects of barriers for RE deployment in the Gulf; see, for example, [7][8][9][11][12][13][14][15]. However, the current literature lacks research that applies empirical methodologies to examine the strengths and weaknesses of emerging RE initiatives, providing us with a little insight into the role which these initiatives could play in facilitating a transformation into sustainable energy systems in the context of oil-rich countries.…”
