The energy sector of the ESCWA region has played and will continue to play an important role globally as well as within the region. It serves as a main source of revenue through oil and (to a lesser extent) gas export and it could potentially satisfy energy needs for economic and social development. However, more than 20% of the population in rural and urban poor areas do not have access to energy services and as many are highly underserviced. Moreover, in many cases, the efficiency of energy production and consumption in the region requires improvement.
