OME essentials
The OME is a unique association, gathering today 34 leading energy
operators
• from the North and from the South,
• from producing and consuming countries,
• from emerging economy and industrialized countries
with the aim to:
(i) promote regional cooperation based on concrete projects,
-(ii) promote dialogue
(iii) carry out joint and shared analysis on issues related to long term energy supply and demand, infrastructure needs, financing, institutional framework, regulation, renewable energy and sustainable development, economic development and environmental protection

ObjectivesObjectives
Strategy of OME - 1
OME member companies have agreed that: :
• Based on their long experience in project implementation in the region, at all levels of the energy supply chain, they continue to commit to the development of energy projects in the Mediterranean, thereby helping the creation of the Mediterranean energy market;
• The energy infrastructure in the Mediterranean basin should be developed with the goal of providing access to affordable energy for the local populations and allowing the reinforcement of energy trade which will enhance solidarities among the different Mediterranean countries;
Strategy of OME - 2
• Energy projects must be implemented on a commercial basis to take full advantage of the financing capabilities of the companies and existing institutions. The need remains, however, to provide financing resources to those activities which would not be undertaken autonomously by the enterprises;
• The realization of energy projects needs the utmost attention from policy makers as it constitutes an important field of cooperation. In order to promote energy projects, the appropriate policies and instruments should be introduced. National Governments and the European Union should increase their commitment to energy-related initiatives in the Mediterranean region.

NMCs
Urbanization rate in the MCs increased from 50.5% to 51.9% between 2000 & 2006.
Currently, the urban rate varies from about 43% in Egypt to 65.3 % in Tunisia (63.3 % in Algeria & 55.5 % in Morocco).

Energy sources in the South Med countries
The SMCs are unequally endowed with hydrocarbon resources
Range between large exporters to totally importers
Two countries (Algeria & Egypt) are high energy exporters and two countries (Tunisia & Morocco) are net energy importers
It is nowadays widely recognised that energy will continue to play an important role in all the MCs, importers or exporters of energy.
The national energy policies are largely linked to the energy resources available in each of these countries

The 145-million population in MCs is consuming 112 Mtoe of primary energy (of wh. 53 Mtoe of gas, 52 Mtoe oil & 6 Mtoe coal) & 154 TWh of electricity.
Number of customers in residential sector is 26.6 million for electricity and 2.5 million for natural gas.
Although the global electrification rate reached 96.6%, about 6-10 million of persons still have no access to electricity.
Efforts are deployed in the renewable energy sector in the MCs particularly in wind and solar energy and PV installations for electrification of remote villages, isolated rural households and rural schools.

“On current trends, we are on course for an unstable, dirty & expensive energy future” quote from IEA Executive Director
•A more sustainable future is needed
•A more sustainable future is possible
•High potential for energy efficiency
•Renewable energy have also an important role to play
•OME is working on these issues through its RESDC
Key energy messages valid also for SEMKey energy messages valid also for SEM
Barriers need to be removed
– Institutional and legal barriers: in most of the countries, there is no institutional and regulatory framework specific
to RE
– Competing resources: RE are competing with conventional energies relatively abundant, widely deployed and subsidised in several countries of the region.
Regional and internationalcontext is favourable
– Regional: EC, EIB, MEDREP, MEDENER, MEDITEP, OME
– Kyoto Protocol: the Clean Development Mechanism, an opportunity not yet fully exploited
– The Mediterranean Strategy for Sustainable Development: a framework in favour to RE and EE
– RE perspectives are encouraging
