Until recently, renewable energy, particularly solar, played only a limited role, with solar PV capacity remaining below 2GW in 2020. In recent years, the country has accelerated renewable deployment as part of a broader shift in its generation mix, with solar PV emerging as the fastest growing technology in this transition. Against this backdrop, solar PV capacity is forecast to increase from approximately 2.9GW in 2025 to around 34.3GW by 2035, according to GlobalData, a leading intelligence and productivity platform.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n\t<section class=\"snk-section snk-section_xs\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"container container-xs\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row snk-textColumns\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col col-12 snk-textColumn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-textBlock\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>GlobalData\u2019s latest report, \u201cEgypt Power Market Trends and Analysis by Capacity, Generation, Transmission, Distribution, Regulations, Key Players and Forecast to 2035\u201d, reveals the country\u2019s cumulative renewable power capacity is expected to reach approximately 49.7GW by 2035, driven primarily by solar PV additions.
