Highlights

  • Egypt will not open the power sector to private investors until 2025 and has delayed the IPO program for state-owned oil and gas companies.
  • EEHC, a state-owned utility, is the main power generator and has a monopoly over transmission and distribution.
  • The oil sector is dominated by national oil company EGPC.
  • Gas production is increasing rapidly (13%/year since 2015).
  • The power mix is dominated by gas (78%).
  • Egypt extended the plan to end electricity subsidies until 2024-25.
  • Gasoline price increased by 19% in 2022.
  • Total energy consumption rebounded by more than 6% in 2021, after a slight reduction in 2020.
  • Since 2014, gas consumption rose by almost 8%/year.
  • Solar power projects are booming, with 1.6 GW under construction and 11.5 GW under development.
  • The country aims to become an energy hub, with a focus on green hydrogen; it multiplies gas and power interconnection projects.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The authorities target a share of 42% of renewables in the power mix in 2035.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

    Gas:

    Since 2015, gas production has risen by 11%/year to 72 bcm, following the commissioning of the Zhor field in 2017. Egypt is the second largest gas producer in Africa after Algeria, surpassing Nigeria since 2016. The Mediterranean Sea represents the largest share of gas production with 62% followed by Nile Delta 19% then western desert 18%.

  • Energy Prices

    Electricity:

    As part of the IMF programs, the authorities increased electricity tariffs by an average of 30% in 2016, 40% in 2017, 36% in 2018, 15% in 2019, 19% in 2020, and 13% in 2021. The country extended the plan to end electricity subsidies until the 2024-25 fiscal year. However, in response to the COVID-2019 pandemic, the government reduced electricity tariffs for industry by 9% in 2020.

  • Energy Consumption

    Energy consumption per capita stands at 0.97 toe in 2021, including 1 700 kWh of electricity.

    Total energy consumption rebounded by 4% in 2021, after a 4.5% decrease in 2020. Previously, it had increased by around 4%/year between 2013 and 2019.

  • 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 $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.
