Energy Transition Control in MENA

In Gaza and the broader MENA region, electricity shortages severely impact essential services and social stability, as energy functions as a political pressure point. While governments promote renewable energy as a modern solution, the transition risks replicating existing inequalities without significant institutional reforms. Centralized control over energy projects limits community involvement, and the burden of rising costs disproportionately affects low-income families. A just transition necessitates targeted support and transparent benefits to ensure renewable energy gains political legitimacy and does not exacerbate social disparities.
