How can Egypt facilitate future exchange of electricity across the Mediterranean?

Egypt continues to work with the European Union to evaluate feasible options to facilitate future exchange of electrical power across the Mediterranean, particularly from renewable energy sources, through possible interconnections between Tunisia and Italy, and potentially between Egypt, Cyprus and Greece.

Can batteries solve Egypt's Electricity oversupply problem?

Egypt is exploring the potential of energy storage through batteries to combat our electricity oversupply problem: As Egypt continues to suffer from a major oversupply of electricity, the country is in need of new ways to tackle the issue.

Should Egypt re-evaluate its energy goals?

However, Egypt’s energy system is highly dynamic and the government would benefit from periodically re-evaluating longer-term energy goals to reflect changing market dynamics and priorities for the country.

Should Egypt develop a vehicle-to-grid scheme?

If Egypt were to develop a vehicle-to-grid scheme allowing EVs to participate in grid ancillary services such as frequency regulation, load shifting, demand response or energy management support in the home, those services could help enable increasing shares of VRE. Planning for a future with higher shares of VRE needs to start today.

What is Egypt's import dependence rate for fossil fuels?

According to Egypt’s ISES, the import dependence rate for fossil fuels reached 10% in 2014/15, and in the reference case scenario from that report, which is the basis of the Reference Case of this report, the share is expected to reach 50% in 2034/35.

Will Egypt see a significant increase in energy demand by 2030?

Egypt will see a significant increase in energy demand of almost 120% by 2030. Therefore, similar increases in energy-related CO are also seen, with an expected 126% increase in the Reference Case to 350 Mt annually by 2030 (see Figure 33). The REmap Case results in a decrease in energy-related CO emissions of
