Egypt Solar Industry Association releases Solar Report
Published in Amwal Al Ghad on 24 - 03 - 2015

Egypt's Solar Energy Market - FiT Program and Beyond 2015:
Egypt has captured the headlines and attention of the solar industry the last several weeks. With 2.3 GW of power to be generated by photovoltaic energy in the next couple of years, the world is taking notice; major international players are coming to Egypt, forming key relations with local enterprises to make this ambitious goal a reality.
The Egyptian government recently concluded the international Economic Development Conference in Sharm el-Sheikh with hopes of attracting $60 billion dollars in foreign direct investment, including billions for renewable energy. As a result, there has been a wave of announcements from the solar industry declaring gigawatts of development and billions of dollars in investment, not only in PV power plants, but also in manufacturing facilities, research and development, and training.
Egypt's Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy has already begun to establish favourable policies and a regulatory framework to help make solar energy a true alternate large-scale source of Egypt's energy mix.
Egypt SIA's new market report provides detailed insights on the latest solar market developments as well as in-depth perspectives from some of the key stakeholders, including regulators, laws firms, developers and EPC contractors who are active in the emerging Egyptian solar energy market.
How easy will it be for international solar developers set up special purpose vehicles in Egypt and secure land plots for their projects? Which banks are expected to provide financing? Which PV system components are going to be locally sourced and which parts are likely to be exported in the first batch of power plants? These are some of the questions that are answered within the report.
In addition, the report offers a unique outlook on solar developments beyond the feed-in-tariff scheme; tracking opportunities in various industries and governorates across Egypt. Finally, an extensive list of local solar energy firms is included with a description of their activities.
Egypt Solar Industry Association (Egypt-SIA)
The Solar GCC Alliance is in the process of forming an Egyptian affiliate, to be known as the Egypt Solar Industry Association (Egypt-SIA). This organization will seek to create new solar energy business and employment opportunities in Egypt and enable collaboration opportunities throughout the GCC region.
