Solar & Storage EPC in Egypt
Egypt has become the largest solar market in North Africa, with solar overtaking wind as its biggest renewable source. We deliver EPC and EPC-plus-financing into that market.

The Egyptian market
Egypt reached roughly 3.2 GW of operational solar by the end of 2025, within total renewable capacity of about 9.1 GW, and solar has now overtaken wind as the country's largest renewable source. The pipeline into 2026 targeted a further 3 GW of solar alongside 600 MW of battery storage.
Benban Solar Park established Egypt as a serious destination for international solar capital, and the market has matured from a single flagship site into a broader base of utility-scale, commercial and industrial development.
How connection works
Egypt's net metering scheme is governed by EgyptERA, the Egyptian Electric Utility and Consumer Protection Regulatory Agency. The connection route depends on voltage level.
| Connection | Administered by |
|---|---|
| High voltage | Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) |
| Low voltage | Local distribution companies |
| Regulation and net metering framework | EgyptERA |
| Renewable project development | New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA) |
Where the opportunity sits
- Industrial self-consumption — Egypt's manufacturing base carries high daytime load and rising tariffs, which is the classic case for C&I rooftop
- Battery storage — a stated national priority, with meaningful capacity in the near-term pipeline
- Utility-scale PV — a proven procurement track record and strong irradiation
- Agricultural and water pumping — solar-powered irrigation across Upper Egypt and reclamation areas
- Hybrid and off-grid — for sites where grid reliability rather than grid absence is the constraint
Currency and financing shape everything here. Equipment is imported and priced in hard currency while revenue is earned in Egyptian pounds. Structuring around that mismatch is often more decisive to a project's viability than the engineering. Our EPC+F capability exists precisely for markets like this.

Frequently asked questions
Who regulates solar net metering in Egypt?
EgyptERA, the Egyptian Electric Utility and Consumer Protection Regulatory Agency, governs the net metering scheme. Connections are administered through the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company for high voltage, or local distribution companies for low voltage.
How much solar capacity does Egypt have?
Egypt had approximately 3.2 GW of operational solar at the end of 2025, within total renewable capacity of around 9.1 GW. Solar has overtaken wind as the country's largest renewable source.
Is battery storage part of Egypt's plans?
Yes. Around 600 MW of battery storage was in the pipeline for commissioning in 2026 alongside approximately 3 GW of additional solar.
What is the biggest risk on an Egyptian solar project?
Currency mismatch is usually more decisive than engineering. Equipment is imported and priced in hard currency while project revenue is earned in Egyptian pounds, so the financing structure often determines viability.
Do you offer financing for Egyptian projects?
Yes. We structure EPC-plus-financing packages with international partners and development finance institutions, which is often the difference between a viable and unviable project in markets with currency exposure.
