Energy, Solar Energy, and Hydro Energy.

Egyptian Electricity Transmission Co (EETC) is a state-owned company that is responsible for the transmission of electricity across Egypt. EETC is responsible for the planning, construction, operation, and maintenance of the country's high-voltage electricity transmission network. The company was established in 1997 and has since then been playing a pivotal role in the development of Egypt's energy infrastructure. In recent years, EETC has been at the forefront of the country's renewable energy development efforts, particularly in the wind, solar, and hydro energy sectors.

Wind Energy

Egypt has significant potential for wind energy development, with an estimated potential of 7,000 MW. EETC has been actively involved in the development of wind energy projects in the country. In 2015, EETC signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Lekela Power, a joint venture between Actis and Mainstream Renewable Power, for the development of a 250 MW wind farm in the Gulf of Suez. The project, known as the West Bakr Wind project, is one of the largest wind energy projects in Africa and is expected to generate enough electricity to power more than 350,000 homes.

EETC has also been involved in the development of smaller-scale wind energy projects. In 2018, the company signed a PPA with Infinity Solar, a subsidiary of Infinity Energy, for the development of a 50 MW wind farm in the Gulf of Suez. The project is expected to generate enough electricity to power more than 100,000 homes. EETC has also signed PPAs with other developers for the development of wind energy projects in Egypt.

Solar Energy

Egypt has abundant solar resources, with an average of 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. EETC has been actively involved in the development of solar energy projects in the country. In 2015, the company signed a PPA with Scatec Solar, a Norwegian solar energy company, for the development of a 50 MW solar power plant in the Benban Solar Park in Aswan. The project, known as the Benban Solar project, is one of the largest solar energy projects in the world and is expected to generate enough electricity to power more than 100,000 homes.

EETC has also been involved in the development of smaller-scale solar energy projects. In 2018, the company signed a PPA with Infinity Solar for the development of a 50 MW solar power plant in the Benban Solar Park. The project is expected to generate enough electricity to power more than 100,000 homes. EETC has also signed PPAs with other developers for the development of solar energy projects in Egypt.

Hydro Energy

Egypt has limited potential for hydro energy development, with most of the country's rivers and streams being seasonal. However, EETC has been involved in the development of small-scale hydro energy projects. In 2018, the company signed a PPA with Infinity Solar for the development of a 50 MW hydro power plant in the Aswan governorate. The project is expected to generate enough electricity to power more than 100,000 homes.

Conclusion

EETC has been playing a pivotal role in the development of Egypt's energy infrastructure, particularly in the wind, solar, and hydro energy sectors. The company has been actively involved in the development of large-scale and small-scale renewable energy projects in the country. EETC's efforts have helped to increase the share of renewable energy in Egypt's energy mix and reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuels. With the continued support of the government and the private sector, EETC is well-positioned to continue its efforts in the development of renewable energy projects in Egypt.
