Responding to power system challenges by advancing sector coupling and smart grid solutions
MENALINKS addresses challenges towards the large-scale integration of renewable energy and sector coupling by focusing on policy, technology, finance, and know-how. Tailored to the partner country needs, the programme supports long-term structural change through regulatory improvements, new business models, education, financing solutions, and pilot projects.
Joining forces in a multi-skilled consortium of ten international, regional, and national partners
MENALINKS is led by Guidehouse and implemented by a consortium which combines knowledge of national energy system contexts, international technical expertise and experience in program management.
The programme is represented by national partners in each partner country who make sure that the implementation of the programme is well embedded in the national regulatory, financial and market landscapes. Learnings from MENALINKS are multiplied and shared with broader outreach across the MENA region and beyond.
