Egypt-UAE Partnership to Add 4 GW of Renewable Energy to Egyptian Grid

The governments of Egypt and the UAE have committed to enhancing their renewable energy partnership, aiming to add 4 gigawatts (GW) of clean power to Egypt’s grid by the summer of 2025. This agreement was reached during a meeting between Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and Sultan Al Jaber, UAE’s Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology.

Madbouly highlighted the need to rapidly introduce new and renewable energy sources into the national grid, alongside efforts to localise related industries. This includes areas like solar panel manufacturing and wind energy components. The Prime Minister also stressed the reliance on the private sector, particularly experienced companies, to implement these projects.

The meeting also covered ongoing transportation sector cooperation between the two countries.
