The Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) has said it implemented 38 energy transition projects in the 2024/2025 fiscal year, including expanding renewable energy use, reducing flaring emissions and converting flare gas into higher-value products. Eighteen projects are now operational, and other 20 are in advanced stages, generating annual savings of about 5.2 billion Egyptian pounds ($111 million ), EGPC said. The initiatives added 30 megawatts of solar capacity, cut diesel consumption by around 68 million litres per year, and utilised 4.5 billion cubic feet of flare gas, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 470,000 tons annually. EGPC said it is also preparing new renewable projects in the Western Desert and Alexandria using innovative financing mechanisms that avoid direct financial burdens on the authority. The corporation has updated its central digital energy transition platform to include geospatial data for each site and introduced a unified monitoring model across sector companies to improve reporting accuracy and decision-making.
