Solar Projects Egypt 2015 Conference

Cairo, Egypt, July 30, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Egypt is attracting huge interest from hopeful solar developers, who are expecting the Egyptian government’s solar FDI strategy to jump start the market.

Egypt is aiming to install 2.3 GW of solar by 2017, with a renewable energy target of 20% by 2020, and foreign investors are already planning multi-GW projects well beyond that. Recently, Egypt's Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy have signed seven binding memoranda of understanding (MOUs) totalling 320 MW of solar projects worth some $500 million under the government's feed-in tariff (FIT) program.

In addition, there is a new wave of announcements from the solar industry declaring gigawatts of development and billions of dollars in investment, not only in PV power plants, but also in manufacturing facilities, research and development, and training.

Egypt’s Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy has already begun to establish favourable policies and a regulatory framework to help make solar energy a true alternate large-scale source of Egypt’s energy mix.

While these activities are promising it remains to be seen how soon construction will begin on the first large scale solar projects.
