Dii, an international industry network…

Shareholders* Associated Partners*

Inspired by Desertec, Dii creates in partnership with local authorities and industries a market place in EUMENA

for renewable energy from the deserts

* as of December 2012


… mobilizing many stakeholders in North Africa, the Middle East and Europe

Scientific community Industry

Policy Community Civil society (NGOs), e.g. DESERTEC Foundation

Dii conducts it’s studies and initiates reference projects in partnership with key stakeholders in North Africa, the Middle East and Europe


Dii is open to all field-proven technologies

Connecting the two systems in Europe and in the MENA region will create benefits for all

While super producers, balancers and importers profit from the system integration in a different way, they ALL BENEFIT from being part of a large sustainable power system.

Creating an EUMENA market makes sense

Average summer day in Europe and MENA

The demand and supply conditions in MENA and Europe are balanced over the course of a single day. Such balance also exists during different seasons.


Spotlight on Egypt

Local demand will be multiplied by 6 by 2050

High wind resources will help Egypt secure its energy supply

In an interconnected scenario, possible exports to Saudi Arabia and Libya

Target picture

Desert Power 2050: a strategic framework in two parts

The first part of Desert Power 2050 is a target picture showing what a sustainable power system in North Africa, the Middle East and Europe could look like in 2050 – specifically, with which technological and geographical mix

Desert power potential increasingly recognized in Europe

Intensive talks with European governments ongoing

GERMANY: Support for desert power expressed by governmentEnergy partnership with Tunisia, Morocco and proposal for an energy partnership with Algeria

FRANCE: Strategic partnership with Morocco with an interest expressed for renewable energySupport for Tunisia’s renewable energy targets expressed

ITALY: RE strategy including import from EU and MENA

RE targets, outlook 2050, infrastructure plan,Article 9 of the EU Renewables Directive


The energy transition has already started on the Southern shore of the MediterraneanRE targets until 2020 in GW (August 2012)
