In addition to wind energy, Egypt is also investing heavily in solar power. By 2026, the country plans to install 5.6 GW of new solar energy capacity. This will significantly increase the share of solar power in the national energy mix.
Egypt’s wind-generated power capacity is expected to reach 7 GW by 2022, making it an important contributor to the renewables energy mix. According to EY, Egypt currently has about 500MW of wind-power plants in operation, plus three privately owned independent power producers (IPPs) with a generation capacity of 2.5GW.
Egypt’s focus on wind energy is part of a broader strategy to diversify its energy sources and enhance energy security. In addition to wind energy, Egypt is also investing heavily in solar power. By 2026, the country plans to install 5.6 GW of new solar energy capacity.
As a part of the strategy to increase wind power to 7.2 GW by 2020, the government intends to develop wind energy generation capacity during the next few years. In 2020, wind energy was responsible for 1.44% of the total produced electricity, making it the third-highest renewable energy source in Egypt (Shouman and Khattab, 2015).
Despite this, according to the most recent annual report issued in 2018 by the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC), Egypt's total current installed power generation capacity is around 54.5 GW. Of this total generation capacity, renewable energy accounts only for 10% (IRENA, 2018b).
Similarly, the wind energy potential for other fifteen locations was investigated over both coastal and interior areas, including Hurghada, Zafarana, Abu Darag, Aswan, Al-arish, Assuit, Matruh, Rafah, Alexandria, Cairo, El Quiser and Elbaharia. The average power density was found to be ranging from 30 to 467 W/m 2.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
