That investment will come when North Africa settles down and becomes a safer place for investments.

There was a major project called Desertec underway until the major political upheavals disrupted things. Some major corporations were going to build solar plants in North Africa to supply electricity to both Europe and the host countries.

Much of the Middle East has the capital needed to install wind, solar and geothermal. There is probably significant money to be made installing solar and selling electricity. And the sunshine won’t run out like oil eventually will.

Plans are still underway to build solar and wind in Morocco and sell power to Europe. Morocco now buys power from Europe via an existing undersea cable.

Solar,Wind and Geothermal are some sort of renewable energy,sun and hot land available around the year in the Middle East and Africa ,if the north rich countries ,Japan and South Korea invest in this countries to save their consumption of fossil fuel it will be more useful ,countries like Germany and Britain do have a huge investment in solar energy and there is no sun ,now world became a small village and need Cooperation between nations.

that said, domestic regs play a central, fundamental role in determining investment conditions for those banks and others investors putting money to work inside any domestic market…

Point well made…I’d bet it’d be rather difficult for even established, well capitalized developers to gain access and make any sort of real mark in overseas markets, which reflects the geopolitics of trade and investment in today’s global economy….

This league table is not much real use. Investment markets are mostly national, especially for smaller-scale projects like most renewables. A Japanese bank isn’t looking at investment opportunities in Germany. Brazil, say, has no need to import capital for solar and wind, The countries that do need to import capital are the really poor ones in Africa, and they are at the bottom.
