Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 01/12/2016 --The demand for power in Egypt will increase in the medium - and long term. We forecast total electricity generation will grow 4.46% in 2016 as the government brings gas and coal capacity online to overcome chronic power shortages. N ew power projects are moving forward and have received financial assistance from various global institutions. T hermal, renewable and nuclear power projects are all set to be developed to meet growing demand. These investments are the result of greater political stability and improving economic outlook .
Egypt's power sector is enduring an exceptionally challenging period. Persistently high demand for energy, driven in part by the country's generous regime of energy subsidies, has weighed heavily on Egypt's ageing electricity infrastructure, which has struggled to keep pace with a growing need for energy.

With economic growth hinging on the provision of adequate and reliable power to vital sectors (ranging from industry and agriculture to tourism and transport), the expansion of Egypt's electricity infrastructure has long been a key priority for the government. An ambitious power sector investment programme was implemented over two phases from 2002-2012, adding 18,850MW of new capacity. However, with persistent power shortages continuing to blight the sector, the issue has gained even more prominence since the beginning of 2015, forcing the government to take urgent action. In May 2015 the government declared a 'state of emergency' to prepare for the surge in demand that generally accompanies the summer heat, and launched the first phase of a plan to urgently upgrade the country's generating capacity.
