The main purpose of this paper is to illustrate and show the differences and capabilities if renewable energy sources in the Middle East region and how using renewable energy will affect the future of the community.
Sustainable energy system is the future energy and the core of the future town’s energy source, its free and environmental friendly and permanent sources. And according to the increasing needs in the Middle East for large population , the price of energy , the lack of resources in remote areas and the need to improve the living conditions, so what sustainable energy system offer for this problems?
The Middle East region renewable energy potential is high, particularly for wind and solar projects. Most Arab countries are part of the SunBelt1, and benefit from solar insolation levels that are among the highest in the world (as high as 6.5 kWh/m² per day). This shows that despite favorable natural conditions for renewable energy development, there is much room for progress in utilizing these resources.

Most of Middle East countries have set targets as part of their national renewable energy plans or sustainable energy strategies, be these medium-term (2020s) or long-term (2030s) targets. Such targets demonstrate a political commitment to the transition towards renewables. Many targets can be seen as relatively ambitious, considering the high and ongoing reliance on fossil fuels in most of the region. In many Middle East countries, especially those with a degree of experience in installing and operating utility-scale projects, the targets have been scaled up to correspond to domestic needs and circumstances.
The Sustainable energy Systems offers the perfect solution for most of the Middle East problems and needs by offering free energy sources wind and sun energy, creating new futuristic energy stations to absorb the free energy and produce renewable power to be used as fuel for transportation, sustenance requirements and also industry.
The use of the sustainable energy in the Middle East until 2015 is bet. 0.1% to 20% of the Renewable energy Capacity and with the minimum Technologies and according to the topographic location and climate condition.In Other hand if we took a look at the maps and decided to reevaluate our resources according to the latest condition, to improve the Geographical extension of capital cities.
According to the latest solar maps and measurements illustrated in the following map shows us the amount of solar power produced per 1sqm/y in the Middle East zone.
Wind atlas in the Middle East shown that Wind vitiate between 5m/s to 10m/s
Conclusions should state concisely the most important propositions of the paper as well as the author’s views of the practical implications of the results.
Power of the wind could be calculated by the following equation
Wind power PWT calculated by
As Shown we could use the wind power at each speed if we used the right wind turbine.
The renewable energy is rich in the Middle East region solar and wind energy could support and offer a lot of work opportunities .
