Can Egypt achieve 42% of its energy generation capacity by ?
At present, Egypt has set an ambitious objective of achieving 42% of its energy generation capacity from renewable sources by (known as the energy target) (IRENA, 2018b). To better exploit the RE potential in Egypt, a few review studies have covered different aspects of RE technologies.
Can Egypt harness energy from sustainable sources?
This review summarises the current energy outlook of Egypt while analysing the country's potential to harness energy from sustainable sources. In general, it has been found that Egypt's renewable energy sector is yet to be exploited for sustainable energy production through its diverse and plentiful resources.
Can Egypt transition from conventional to re energy resources?
This should allow for carrying out an energy transition from conventional to RE resources in Egypt; where a similar analysis has been carried out in Iran and allowed for developing five different energy systems focusing on the underlying RE production and efficiency improvements (Noorollahi et al., ).
How much solar energy will Egypt produce by ?
According to the Egyptian government, the solar energy generation capacities could be extended further by MW by (Shouman, ). In , solar energy in Egypt accounted only for 1.9% of the produced electricity, making it the country's second-highest renewable energy source.
Does Egypt still rely on conventional energy sources?
According to the rate of increase in the consumption of conventional energy sources in Egypt alongside the CO 2 emissions over the period from to (for 47 years as shown in Fig. 1) (The world bank, ), it is evident that Egypt is still relying primarily on the conventional energy resources. Fig. 1.
Can Egypt manufacture solar and wind energy components?
Egypt has a substantial potential for manufacturing solar and wind energy components. For example, wind turbine towers are manufactured locally and hence they are cost-competitive in Egypt. However, the local manufacturing of the other components, such as the blades and related electronics, is still not happening.
