OBJECTIVE

The objectives are to increase Egypt’s generation capacity by exploiting its vast renewable energy potential and help the country to meet its power demand and to reduce the dependence on gas and fuel for electricity generation and move to a more balanced and environmentally sustainable energy mix.
