This strategic investment by SIFEM supports the global call for cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions. With the MENA region being ideally situated to harness solar and wind energy, this investment will help facilitate the transition towards cleaner energy sources, reducing carbon emissions and the use of fossil fuels, and ultimately combatting climate change. Moreover, the inclusion of countries in the West Balkans underscores the commitment to broader regional development, energy diversification, and sustainability in a region with immense potential.
