The new report mentioned that the list witnessed significant shifts, with Saudi Arabia and the UAE leading the regional and global scene. The report by the specialized energy platform, based in Washington, indicated that the deals aimed to enhance the transition to clean energy sources. They were also part of clear strategies to achieve carbon neutrality and diversify electricity sources amid climate challenges and increasing environmental pressures.
The new report from the specialized energy platform reviewed the list of Arab countries leading the five largest renewable energy deals in July 2025, as follows: Saudi Arabia topped the list of the five largest renewable energy deals in July 2025, after signing agreements to implement massive projects with capacities reaching 15,000 megawatts, as part of the national program overseen by the Ministry of Energy.
The UAE’s Masdar company was included in the list of the five largest renewable energy deals in July 2025, after announcing a joint investment with the Spanish company Iberdrola in an offshore wind farm with a capacity of 1.4 gigawatts in the United Kingdom, costing up to 6.1 billion dollars.
A deal to establish a new wind power plant in Saudi Arabia with a capacity of 700 megawatts was among the five largest renewable energy deals in July 2025, as part of the Kingdom’s efforts to increase the contribution of clean electricity to 50% by 2030.
Egypt strongly entered the list in July 2025, thanks to the commencement of commercial operation of the first battery storage system for electricity at the utility level, with a capacity of 300 megawatt-hours. Iraq secured a spot on the list of the five largest renewable energy deals in July 2025, with the continued implementation of a comprehensive project for governmental buildings, including in its first phase 534 buildings across various provinces.
The list of the largest renewable deals is an extension of the wave of massive investments the region is witnessing, which has launched strongly since the beginning of this year to enhance the contribution of renewable energy in the national energy mix and reduce dependence on traditional fuels.
