Speaking during the Energy Transition Council''s (ETC) first working-level national dialogue with Egypt in February 2020, Egypt''s Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy, Dr. Mohamed
The International Finance Corporation (IFC) believes that EGP 2 Trillion are required to brought into Egypt’s energy sector in climate-smart investments by 2030. Egypt is expected to overtake South Africa in the next decade to become the largest electricity market in Africa.
FDI is concentrated in the oil and gas industry (around three-quarters of total investments), followed by real estate, manufacturing, financial services and construction. The International Finance Corporation (IFC) believes that EGP 2 Trillion are required to brought into Egypt’s energy sector in climate-smart investments by 2030.
In a separate announcement, Norway’s Scatec said it had signed a 25-year PPA with Egyptian Electricity Transmission Co. (EETC) for a 1 GW solar and 100 MW/200 MWh battery storage hybrid project in Egypt. “This will be the first hybrid solar and battery project in Egypt,” said Scatec CEO Terje Pilskog.
The latest announcements bring Amea Power’s total renewables capacity in Egypt to 2 GW of solar and 900 MWh of BESS. The company claims to have projects in 20 countries, with a pipeline above 6 GW and 1.6 GW currently in operation and under or near construction.
The minister added that Egypt is currently working to establish centres to control the electrical network with investments of EGP 5.4 billion (US$ 344 million), which come in addition to a global control centre at the New Administrative Capital (NAC); the electrical power plant is the largest of its kind in the world.
Egypt’s wind-generated power capacity is expected to reach 7 GW by 2022, making it an important contributor to the renewables energy mix. According to EY, Egypt currently has about 500MW of wind-power plants in operation, plus three privately owned independent power producers (IPPs) with a generation capacity of 2.5GW.
