The Qatari power sector is set for strong growth over the coming decade as the government continues to spend heavily on new infrastructure projects while domestic energy consumption continues to grow . There is no sign of a let-up in government spending on the horizon particularly as the emirate gears up for the FIFA World Cup in 202 2. With the economy in good shape and demand for power likely to continue rising over the next few years the electricity sector is in good stead.

Although such dependence on a single source of fuel for electricity generation would typically be a concern given the emirate's vast supplies of natural gas and the government's deep pockets it is difficult to envisage a scenario where this dependence translates into any serious risks for the sector's outlook any time soon.
