Amman, May 19 (Petra) — Amman will host the sixth Arab Dialogue
Workshop on Wednesday under the theme “Arab Energy Security Is the
Key to Global Energy Security,” amid mounting global focus on supply
chain resilience, energy sovereignty and the transition toward
sustainable energy systems.
The workshop is expected to bring together senior policymakers,
energy experts and regional and international institutions to discuss
the future of Arab energy integration and the geopolitical role of
the region in securing global energy markets.
The event is organized by the Arab Renewable Energy Commission in
partnership with the Royal Jordanian Geographic Center, the Regional
Center for Space Science and Technology Education for Western Asia,
the Center for Strategic Studies at the University of Jordan and the
Jordan Renewable Energy Society.
Held under the patronage of Senate President Faisal Al-Fayez, the
workshop will open discussions on the concept of Arab energy
sovereignty as a pillar of economic stability, national security and
long-term sustainable development.
Secretary-General of the Arab Renewable Energy Commission Mohammad
Al-Taani said the region is entering a new phase in which energy
security has become directly tied to geopolitical stability and
economic resilience.
Al-Taani said Jordan has developed a strong renewable energy and
regulatory framework that positions it as a regional model in areas
including renewable energy generation, electric vehicles, energy
storage and decentralized power systems.
The two-day workshop, scheduled for May 20-21, will include
participants from Kuwait, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Palestine, Saudi
Arabia, Algeria, Morocco and Ireland.
Organizers said discussions will focus on energy transition
strategies, digital transformation in the energy sector, smart grids,
storage technologies and decentralized systems designed to improve
supply stability and reduce dependence on traditional energy imports.
The workshop is also expected to highlight the growing role of
off-grid systems in strengthening energy independence, supporting
water and food security and reducing pressure on conventional
infrastructure networks.
Participants will additionally discuss how Arab energy integration
can transform environmental and economic challenges into investment
opportunities capable of generating green jobs and strengthening the
region’s position in the global clean energy market.
