For Egypt excellent resources of wind and solar energy exist. The article discusses perspectives of wind energy in Egypt with projections to generate ~ 3.5 GWe by 2022, representing ~9% of
The 1.8 GW Benban project, Africa''s largest solar park, is located near Aswan in Egypt. The 37km2 park has been connected to Egypt''s National Grid since 2019 and was developed in line the Egyptian New and
The latest figures published by Egypt''s New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA) indicate the country''s power generation mix is currently 80% thermal, 12% wind, 6% hydro, and 2% solar.
Egypt’s wind-generated power capacity is expected to reach 7 GW by 2022, making it an important contributor to the renewable energy mix. Since 2001, a series of large-scale wind farms with a total capacity of 1.2 GW were established in cooperation with Germany (KFW), Denmark (DANIDA), Spain (Siemens Gamesa), and Japan (JICA).
As of the 3rd quarter of FY 2020/2021, Egypt has about 1,375 MW of wind power plants in operation mainly by NREA and one project by the private sector producing around 250 MW. There is 1623 MW of PV energy installed and 140 MW of CSP.
The 37km2 park has been connected to Egypt’s National Grid since 2019 and was developed in line the Egyptian New and Renewable Energy Authority’s agenda. The project comprises 41 solar power plants and was built to the tune of $4 billion by 30 companies. Gabal Al-Zait: 580 MW Wind Farm
The project was completed in 2015. Egypt aims to generate 42% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2035. and the country's wind energy and solar potential is moving the country towards the goal.
The total corporate funding in the global solar sector saw an 11% increase year-on-year at $109.4 billion in the first half of 2019. More than $2.6 trillion has been invested in renewable energy over the past decade.
Overall investment in the MENA energy sector could reach $1 trillion by 2023, with the power sector accounting for the largest share of the spending at 36%. As the unit rate for solar energy investment is reducing year-on-year, a decrease in capital does not represent a slowdown in the industry (Figure 2).
