Combined Renewable Energy Master Plan for Egypt

Combined Renewable Energy Master Plan for Egypt
Objective of this study is the establishment of a comprehensive framework for the development of wind and solar energies. Until now, this is the most extensive and detailed project to elaborate a national renewable energy master plan for the power sector on the African continent. The Master Plan will facilitate the technical and economic integration of renewable energies into the Egyptian electricity supply.
The project starts with a feasibility study for a large scale Concentrating Solar Power plant in Upper Egypt.
