Solar Podcast: Straight Out of Abu Dhabi

Saudi Arabia and other MENA countries have their own looming energy crisis—and solar might be the answer.

Do solar power and oil-rich nations mix? Greentech Media CEO Scott Clavenna talks with Scott Burger, solar analyst at GTM Research, from the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi about his latest market study, Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Solar Market Outlook, 2013-2017.

Burger sees 2013 as a pivotal year in a surprisingly dynamic region -- with a potential for gigawatts installed in the next few years in a market he calls "tender-heavy and opaque." Join us for an overview of solar in the region.
