SME Consulting Research Papers Egypt Energy 2023 - Leading the Dialogue at Egypt Energy 2023

We are proud to share the SME Consulting research papers from Egypt Energy 2023. These documents were the foundation of our conference presentations and are now available for our clients and partners to help guide their strategic decision-making.

At SME Consulting, we are dedicated to bridging the gap between technical expertise and strategic investment. Our research is frequently showcased at premier industry events, most notably the Egypt Energy Expo 2023. This landmark expo, an essential annual event for the past 30 years, serves as the primary hub for the North African energy community.

The 2023 edition brought together over 135 exhibitors from 11 countries and welcomed more than 6,700 visitors to explore five dedicated sectors: Renewables & Clean Energy, Transmission & Distribution, Energy Consumption & Management, Smart Solutions, and Backup Generators.

Our published papers were central to the expo’s conference program, which featured 32 specialized sessions. These papers provide a deep dive into the Renewable Energy Infrastructure Development in Egypt, offering investors and stakeholders a roadmap for navigating the nation’s rapid transition from a traditional oil and gas exporter to a global leader in green energy.

Renewable Energy Infrastructure Development in Egypt

Egypt is currently undergoing a monumental shift in its energy landscape. As Africa’s top oil exporter and the second-largest supplier of natural gas, the nation is leveraging its strategic position to lead the green revolution. Under Egypt’s Vision 2030, the energy sector is identified as the most critical cornerstone for sustainable development.

The government has set ambitious targets to reach a 42% renewable energy contribution to the total electricity output by 2035. To support this, the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy (MERE) and the New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA) have allocated 28 specific areas for large-scale projects, aiming to reach a generation capacity of 62.6 GW by 2035. This infrastructure development is not just about power; it is about establishing Egypt as a global center for green hydrogen export, utilizing its unique geography on the Red and Mediterranean Seas.
