Egypt to generate 8 GW from solar, wind energy New push for renewable energy sources includes solar and wind power, as Egypt tries to overcome energy shortages
Egypt will fix feed-in tariffs for renewable energy in early October as it aims to increase power generated from renewable energy sources, according to declarations made by Investment Minister Ashraf Salman, speaking at Al-Mal GTM conference in Cairo on Monday. He revealed that Egypt plans to generate 4 gigawatts (GW) of solar energy and a similar amount of wind energy. Salman said that the government will start with solar energy production as it delivers from 9 to 12 months faster than other sources of power generation. Producing energy from wind takes one year and a half while natural gas takes from two to three years, according to the minister. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/110791.aspx
