UAE's Growing Energy Sector Push in Egypt
Emirati investments have expanded significantly in the Egyptian energy sector through major deals, including acquisitions of natural gas concessions and wind energy projects. These include a deal by Arkios Energy to acquire a stake in gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea, costing nearly hundreds of millions of dollars, as well as a $420 million deal to expand the Jebel El Zeit wind farm—the largest in Africa—that produces 580 megawatts of electricity. These investments come at a time when government flotation plans have been affected and impacted by geopolitical and economic conditions, amid concerns over market monopolies and a lack of transparency in asset valuation, against the backdrop of increasing regional competition for energy resources.
