Infrastructure panel:
solar powered desalination and green logistics
Egypt is working to mobilise substantial investments in key infrastructure
sectors,
with a core focus on green transition and on involving the private sector. Faced
with water scarcity challenges and a fast
growing population, Egypt is working
on an ambitious programme of solar
powered desalination plants, which aims to
transform
the sector. A significant role is foreseen for the private sector, in an initiative
which would make use of Egypt’s abundant solar resources. Egypt is also seeking
to mobilise opportun
ities in green logistics, backing innovation in a fast
developing sector driven by private sector investment and where there is ample
scope for green investments in energy efficiency, clean vehicles and efficient
business models.

Energy Sector Panel:
renewable energy and green hydrogen
Egypt embarked on its journey to decarbonise its electricity sector, starting In
2015 with the introduction of the New Electricity Law, through the introduction
of different schemes aimed at incentivising private sector participation in the
renewable energ
y generation business. As a result, Egypt today has around 6 GW
of installed renewable energy capacity, of which c. 2 GW has been developed by
the private sector, which contributes positively towards the government’s
ewables in 2022 and 42% by 2030.
Moreover, in line with Egypt’s plan to decarbonise the industrial sectors under
the framework of the 2015 Paris Agreement, the government is in the process of
developing its national hydrogen strategy with a plan to establi
sh a green
has for green hydrogen production, namely its geographical proximity and access
to exceptional wind and solar resources.
