A new report suggests that Egypt could reach 44 GW of solar capacity by only 9 if it steps up its efforts to integrate renewable energy projects into its long-term policy targets. The report by IRENA states that the target, which would meet around 52% of the country's total power demand, is feasible if Egypt takes measures which include improving regulatory frameworks, packaging renewable energy projects to mitigate risk factors and conducting comprehensive measurement campaigns for the technology. In contrast, following the existing government targets, the report estimates the country will generate 2030 GW through solar energy.
