•GCC energy & power demand consumesapproximately 30% of its oil & gas productioninternally;

•By 2030 the region could consume 60% of itscurrent energy production, & its entire gasproduction;

•Even with increase in production this situation is notsustainable;

• Energy & demand efficiency can bridge almost 30%of this demand surge.
