Overview

Egypt’s energy strategy balances security, sustainability, and governance, targeting 42% renewable energy by 2030 while reducing emissions. Governed by multiple ministries, the sector prioritises gas, privatisation, and market liberalisation, with ongoing reforms in oil, gas, and electricity infrastructure.

Highlights

  • Egypt aims to achieve 42% of renewables in its power mix and to reduce GHG emissions by 37% in 2030.
  • EEHC, the state-owned utility, is the main power generator. EETC is since 2025 the independent power transmission company, following its separation from EEHC.
  • EGPC and APA are the main oil producers.
  • Gas production has been decreasing very rapidly since its peak in 2021, and imports are now supplying 23% of consumption. Gas dominates the power mix (81% in 2024).
  • Final consumption has been increasing by an average of 5%/year since 2020. Energy prices in pound are increasing in an attempt to reduce subsidies but are decreasing in dollars.
  • Construction of the 4 units of the El Dabaa nuclear power plant is underway, for a full commissioning in 2030.
  • Israel signed a 130 bcm gas supply agreement with Egypt worth. Eni plans to inject USD8bn in Egypt over the next five years.

  • Energy & Climate Policy Framework

    Two ministries share the main responsibility for the energy sector.

    The Ministry of Petroleum & Mineral Resources (MPMR) oversees the hydrocarbon sector and holds participation in state-owned oil & gas companies.

  • Energy Companies

    Gas:

    EGAS, Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company, is the national gas company which owns and manages public stakes in gas projects. Eni and BP are the main gas producers (22% of total output each).

  • Energy Supply & Demand

    Gas:

    Gas production has been decreasing very rapidly since its peak in 2021 at 71 bcm (-14%/year), reaching 45 bcm in 2024. This decline is due to a reduction at the main natural gas field - Zohr. Gas production grew rapidly following the commissioning of the Zohr field in 2017 (+7%/year over 2017-2021). Egypt is the second largest gas producer in Africa after Algeria, close to Nigeria.

  • Energy Use and Price by Sector

    Energy Prices in Residential:

    In USD, electricity prices have largely declined from their peak in 2021 with an average price of 6.8 USDc/kWh. Electricity prices (in USD) fell by around 24% for households between 2021 and 2023, after an average 20%/year increase over 2017-2021.

  • Issues & Prospects

    Electricity:

    EEHC plans to add 13 GW of thermal capacity totalling USD20bn in investments between 2022 and 2027. The long-term strategy of the Ministry (2016) aimed at investing up to USD135bn to provide 51 GW of electricity until 2035. Around 10 GW of power projects are under construction, of which half is nuclear, and over 35 GW planned, mostly renewables (2/3 wind and 1/3 solar).

The Egypt energy market data since 1990 and up to is included in the Excel file accompanying the Egypt country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

  • Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
  • Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
  • Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
  • Energy Balance: total and per energy.
  • Egypt Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Egypt energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO2 emissions (from fuel combustion).
