Egypt Renewable Energy Market Outlook 2031
The Egypt renewable energy market size was valued at USD XX Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD XX Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 8.09% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to implementation of government policies to decrease dependency on fossils and carbon footprints. Furthermore, increasing demand for power in the country is driving the market growth.
Egypt hosts sunny weather and experiences high wind speeds, making it a prime location for renewable energy projects. The Government of Egypt is striving to fulfill the energy demand by using non-renewable sources and renewable sources. Renewables is anticipated to account for 22% of Egypt’s total final energy supply output by 2030.
Egypt intends to increase the supply of electricity generated from renewable sources to 20% by 2022 and 42% by 2035, while the wind energy providing 14 percent, hydropower energy 2 percent, and solar energy 25 percent by 2035. The private sector is expected to deliver most of this capacity. The Benban Solar Park in Egypt is powered by 7.2 million photovoltaic solar panels, which has a massive potential of 1800 MW.
In August 2020, the Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy Mohamed Shaker, said that large number of renewable projects are expected to be announced by end of 2020. He added that the country is partnering with European-based partners to finance the projects.
Egypt Renewable Energy Market Drivers, Restraints, Trends, and Opportunities
- Declining costs of renewable technologies owing to technological advancement, which is becoming more competitive with fossil fuel prices, is expected to drive the Egypt renewable energy market growth.
- Slow pace development of large-scale projects and limited land and power capacity of variable renewable energy sources, can restrain the growth of renewable energy market.
- The COVID-19 pandemic persuaded government bodies to impose restrictions on the manufacturing facilities. This, in turn, disrupted the supply chain activities and negatively impacted the production of components of renewable energy systems. However, the market is expected to recover soon owing to declining COVID-19 cases in most of the countries.
- Increasing number of wind and solar plants in the east and west Nile is expected to create opportunities in the coming years.
- Growing awareness about renewable energy benefits and presence of low-cost renewable energy systems are anticipated to proliferate the growth of the renewable energy industry in the country.

Egypt Renewable Energy Market Segment Insights
Wind segment to grow at a rate
Based on types, the Egypt renewable energy market is segregated into hydro power, wind, solar, and others. The wind segment is projected to grow at a rapid rate owing to the upcoming projects and large-scale investments in the wind energy sector under various policies and strategies. Government bodies in Egypt is planning to install 18000 MW of wind energy by 2035.
In November 2019, the opening of the Ras Ghareb Wind Farm project with a capacity of 262.5 MW resulted in a giant leap toward achieving the country’s goal of 7 GW of wind energy by 2022. The project West Bakr wind farm with a capacity of 250 MW is expected to be operational in 2021. The plant is expected to generate 1000 GWh of clean energy that can supply power to 350,000 houses.
Investments of international companies like Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, Toyota Tsusho, and others have helped in bringing down the cost of renewables in Egypt, significantly creating a more developing and competitive market.
