Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly chaired a meeting in New Alamein City to discuss Egypt's energy strategy up to 2040. Minister Esmat stressed the importance of revising the strategy to incorporate green hydrogen, given changes in the energy sector and the exclusion of coal from the energy mix. The meeting highlighted progress in renewable energy projects, including wind and solar power capacities, as well as the implementation of battery storage systems. Ongoing coordination aims to strengthen the national grid and connect renewable energy projects by 2025. The government is working to secure funding for grid-strengthening projects and encourage private sector investments in renewable energy, including green hydrogen production. Incentive measures such as land allocation, reduced customs duties, and lowered VAT rates are being implemented to boost the economic feasibility of these projects.
