Global energy and power firms, private and public sector investment vehicles and multilateral agencies set sights on North Africa as a primary market focus for growth.

The significant increase of new power projects in the region, coupled with rapid innovation in clean energy solutions to fast-track ambitious global net zero commitments, have created a multitude of new business and trade opportunities. Egypt alone is set to invest $2.6bln in electricity sector in FY2023/24, however several challenges persist to achieve secure, efficient, stable, and improved electricity services and unlock accelerated pathways to the energy transition in the region.
