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.

Is Egypt a good place to manufacture solar & wind energy components?

Increasing the local manufacturing share of various RE technologies provides a radical solution for this problem. 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.

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 1971 to 2016 (for 47 years as shown in Fig. 1) (The world bank, 2022), it is evident that Egypt is still relying primarily on the conventional energy resources.

Why do wind farms in Egypt shut down on demand?

• The wind farms in Egypt apply a shut down on demand approach that provides a safe route for migratory birds. • Noise, visual pollution and electromagnetic interference. • Bird fa.tality, soil erosion and deforestation. • Lightning from towers and electromagnetic radiation. • Hazardous manufacturing processes.
