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 and has a monopoly over transmission and distribution.
  • EGPC and APA are the main oil producers.
  • Gas dominates the power mix (81% in 2024).
  • Gas imports doubled in 2023 reaching 13 bcm.
  • In the first quarter of 2025, diesel and gasoline prices increased by around 15% to 13%.
  • Gas accounts for 47% of total consumption and 57% of the gas is used for power generation (2024).
  • Construction of the 4 units of the El Dabaa nuclear power plant is underway for a commissioning by 2030.
  • Around 5 GW of solar and wind projects are under construction and 13 GW are planned.
  • EDF Renewables and Zero Waste signed co-operation agreement for a €7bn green ammonia plant of 1 Mt.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    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

    Electricity:

    EEHC (Egyptian Electricity Holding Company) is the state-owned electric utility.

  • Energy Supply

    Oil:

    Crude oil production has declined by 15% since 2019 reaching 25 Mt (-3%/year), after fluctuating around 34-35 Mt since 2008. Production is concentrated in the Western Desert (56%) and the Gulf of Suez (23%). Egypt consumes almost all its oil production.

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    In 2019, Egypt introduced a fuel price indexation scheme. As a smoothing mechanism, the formula caps the quarterly change in retail prices from movements in variable cost at 10%. To contribute to finance the cost of the pandemic, in 2020, the country imposed a development fee on gasoline and diesel fuel.

  • Energy Consumption

    Energy consumption per capita stood at 0.85 toe in 2024including 1 640 kWh of electricity.

    Total energy consumption peaked in 2021 at 101 Mtoe then declined by 6% in 2022 and by 1% in 2021 and finally rebounded to 98 Mtoe in 2024 (+5%). It grew by 2.5%/year in average from 2010 to 2021.

  • Issues & Prospects

    Electricity:

    Egypt aims to boost its capacity by up to 30 GW by 2025, 8 GW of which should come from renewables. EEHC plans to add 13 GW of thermal capacity totalling US$20bn in investments between 2022 and 2027.

    In 2016, the Ministry prepared a long-term strategy aimed at investing up to US$135bn to provide 51 GW of electricity until 2035.

  • Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO2 emissions.
  • Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source.
  • Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
  • Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.

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).
