Photovoltaic going to sea, why the Middle East?

in September, GCL dropped a bomb in the short period of calm after Zhongbao. The company plans to build a factory in Saudi Arabia in the Middle East. If the plan is implemented, it will be the first overseas silicon material factory of Chinese polysilicon enterprises.

As a global silicon giant, it is not uncommon to go out to build a factory, even if it is the first one, but it has similar significance with the recent release of mate 60 by Huawei. Today, 11 years later, China's photovoltaic industry, which used to be hunted by foreign capital in the silicon sector, has gone abroad to build silicon factories and sell silicon materials to foreigners with completely independent technology.

If we say that in May this year, the first stop of TCL Central Sea is to set up Saudi Arabia in the Middle East, it is only the behavior of a single enterprise, which is not enough to rise to the industry. Then choke , and the total annual solar irradiation in Jordan is even 9720 MJ/m2 . What does

that mean? The total amount of solar radiation in the Middle East countries is not only satisfied, but also far exceeded.

ago, the six major oil-producing countries in the Middle East all made corresponding climate commitments to the world." Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates all set their climate targets at "net zero emissions" , while countries that have not made "net zero emissions" commitments have more or less given their renewable energy targets. Among them, Saudi Arabia has announced that 50% of its electricity will come from renewable energy by 2030.

Based on World Bank data for 2021, Five of the six countries in the GCC are among the top 10 countries in the world in terms of per capita CO2 emissions. It is not new for Middle East countries relying on oil, but how to achieve this goal is a challenge for Middle East countries and an opportunity for new energy industries such as photovoltaic and wind energy in China.

In order to achieve this huge goal, Saudi Arabia announced the well-known "National Renewable Energy Plan (NREP)" in 2017, aiming to achieve the installation of new energy power generation in 2023. Invest more than $ 260 billion in the power sector to increase clean energy generation capacity and enhance transmission and distribution networks.

In addition, Saudi Arabia also plans to build NEOM New Town into a zero-carbon, sustainable city, and the use of renewable energy such as solar and wind energy to produce hydrogen is the most important part of this plan.

Hundreds of billions of real gold and silver have produced solid results. In 2022, the Middle East experienced the largest expansion of renewable energy production in history, with new installations throughout the year. 3.

Demand drives China's photovoltaic exports. The total number of PV modules imported from China in the Middle East reached 11. In May this year alone, the number of PV modules imported reached 1.

Despite the rapid growth, by the end of 2022, the total installed capacity of renewable energy in the Middle East was only 28.

The golden country has set off a fanatical "Oriental fever" in the West.

Nowadays, China's photovoltaic industry is moving westward and returning the desert in the Middle East to green. September 26,

2023, Jointly hosted by CNBM International UAE and DP WORLD JAFZA Dubai Jebel Ali Free Zone Government, the " Conference will be held in Dubai. Focus on the hot spots of new energy in the Middle East, focusing on the application and promotion of technologies in the fields of hydrogen energy, energy storage, energy conservation, photovoltaic, renewable energy, new energy vehicles, new energy equipment, desert sand reuse , etc. Build a one-stop procurement platform for "new energy" and "energy products" to promote new energy solutions to the Middle East and North Africa.

The exhibition will focus on new products, new technologies and new applications in the field of new energy, and the China New Energy Vehicle Middle East Trade Center will be grandly unveiled at this conference. The conference will also provide more new energy product solutions for the COP28 conference on climate change.
