This energy and sustainability blog provides a reading guide to research available on Dr. Abdulla Isa Alabbasi’s website. Explore the publications below to follow questions about renewable energy, interconnected electricity systems and the policy choices involved in energy diversification.
This energy and sustainability guide is organised around original research publications. Each linked page identifies the title, authors and publication year and provides a full-text PDF. Use the web summaries to choose a subject, then consult the complete document for detailed analysis and references.
Energy and sustainability: renewable energy and national policy
The 2019 MENA renewable energy report combines regional analysis with studies of Tunisia, Morocco, Bahrain and Algeria. It considers renewable demand in relation to economic and policy conditions, giving readers a way to connect regional questions with country-specific experience.
This publication is useful as a starting point for research on energy transition and the conditions surrounding renewable deployment. Its country discussions and project information should be interpreted in the historical context of the report.
Electricity cooperation within and beyond the Gulf
The 2018 GCC electricity-trading report distinguishes emergency support from scheduled commercial exchange. It also considers market preparation and the barriers to wider regional trading. These issues connect technical infrastructure with institutional and policy arrangements.
The 2023 India-Gulf power chapter examines a possible cross-border electricity relationship. It compares regional energy systems and discusses the potential role of cooperation in supporting renewable integration and grid operation. Read it as an analysis of opportunities, rather than confirmation of an operating project.
Nuclear energy, water and investment
The 2018 nuclear energy report considers Gulf diversification plans, desalination and reactor economics. Its discussion of capital costs and construction delays shows why long-term generation choices involve financial and institutional questions alongside technology.
For a broader comparison, read this report alongside the renewable and electricity-trading studies. They address different aspects of regional power policy and offer complementary entry points into the research collection.
Read and cite the original publications
When using a publication for research, retain its original title, author names and year. Check the full-text document for the precise scope of a claim, its supporting references and any assumptions affecting the analysis. Older targets, forecasts and construction schedules are historical statements, not automatically current figures.
