Egypt Boasts North Africa's Most Ambitious Energy Transition Plans

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Egypt has positioned itself as a leader in North Africa's renewable-energy development, while increasing its offshore natural gas production. Following a few years of growth in its renewables sector, Egypt now has a power surplus from a well-balanced combination of gas and renewables.

Egypt's Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy aims to generate 42% of the nation's total energy from renewables by 2035. Among the largest projects under construction is the Ras Ghareb Windfarm on the western coast of the Gulf of Suez, which is developed, in part, by Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE:TM) (Toyota City, Japan).
