Overview

Egypt’s energy strategy balances sustainability, security, and governance, targeting 42% renewable energy in its power mix by 2030 while reducing emissions. Governed by multiple ministries, the sector prioritises gas production, market liberalisation, and private investment, alongside ambitious green hydrogen and nuclear projects.

Get more details on the table of contents and data files, as well as the list of graphs and tables by browsing the tabs below.

Highlights

  • Egypt aims to increase renewables to 42% of its power mix and reduce GHG emissions by 37% by 2030.
  • EETC is the independent power transmission company since 2025, following its separation from EEHC.
  • EGPC and APA are the main oil producers.
  • Egypt relies on gas for a large part of its energy supply and power mix.
  • Gas production is rapidly decreasing, and imports are covering an increasing part of consumption.
  • Since 2021, final energy consumption has increased by 4%/year.
  • Energy prices in Egyptian pound have strongly increased in recent years.
  • Several oil and gas discoveries have been announced by Khalda, Eni, Agiba and other companies on shore and offshore in 2026.
  • Large BESS projects are in various stages of development, across Egypt coupled with renewable solar and wind and as standalone projects.

  • Energy & Climate Policy Framework

    Two ministries share primary 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 is the main power producer with 55 GW installed capacity (FY2023-24), of which 53.3 GW is from thermal sources and 2.8 GW from hydro; it generated 217 TWh in 2024 (94% of the national production), of which 202 TWh is from thermal sources and 15 TWh from hydro. EEHC operates through 6 affiliate companies: Cairo, East Delta, Middle Delta, West Delta, Upper Egypt, and Hydro.

  • Energy Supply & Demand

    Oil:

    Crude oil production has declined by almost 3%/year since 2019, reaching 28 Mt in 2025, after a period of stability at 34 Mt/year between 2008 and 2019. Production is concentrated in the Western Desert (56%) and the Gulf of Suez (23%).

  • Energy Use and Price by Sector

    Energy Prices in Industry:

    After peaking at USD8.2c/kWh in 2021, electricity prices for industry in USD have been divided by two (-17%/year), reaching USD3.9c/kWh in 2025. However, in Egyptian pound, prices have doubled since 2018 (+10%/year on average), reaching EGP1.95/kWh. Indeed, the country experienced a prolonged currency crisis with repeated devaluations and severe pressure on the exchange rate.

  • Issues & Prospects

    Electricity:

    June 2026, Egypt earmarked EGP 60 b to expand the grid capacity and upgrade the transmission network mainly to accommodate new renewables generation. 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.
