Qatar’s effort to expand its solar industry is being held up by issues including the scale of the projects planned and dust that blows in from desert areas, one of the nation’s most senior leaders said.
“We are one of the biggest believers in solar,” said Abdullah Bin Hamad Al-Attiyah, a former energy minister who is chairman of Qatar Electricity & Water Co., said at a press conference in Doha today. “We have some technology problems. I am a big believer that technology will solve it.”
