Egypt's Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy has affirmed that the country's energy security strategy is undergoing a comprehensive transformation that goes beyond simply meeting domestic electricity needs. It includes diversifying energy sources, improving consumption efficiency, developing networks, expanding storage technologies, and enhancing electrical interconnections with neighboring countries. Egypt aims to increase the share of renewable energy from 42% to 45% of its energy mix by 2028, moving up from the previous target of 2030. This shift intends to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate the volatility of global fuel prices. Solar projects in Benban and wind projects in the Gulf of Suez and Ras Gharib play a central role in this transition. The strategy also involves upgrading grid infrastructure, strengthening interconnections with Greece, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan, and developing smart grids to ensure supply stability. Additionally, the Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant project is seen as a sustainable, low-emission energy source. The overall goal of this transformation is to integrate diverse energy sources, attract investments, and enhance energy efficiency, with a particular focus on storage technology to facilitate the utilization of surplus renewable energy. This effort aims to position Egypt as a regional energy exchange hub and to ensure the sustainability of its electricity supply.
