EGYPT TO EXPORT SOLAR POWER TO EUROPE

Written by The Dose Team

Egypt authorities announced that the country will export renewable energy to parts of Europe, including UK.

Egypt’s largest renewable energy provider, is expected to generate about 10 gigawatts of power, roughly equivalent to 10 UK power stations.

A 600-mile undersea cable from Egypt to Greece will transport about a third of the electricity to Greece, and the rest to markets across Europe and the UK.

The exports would provide power during times when sources in Northern Europe are less productive due to fluctuating wind and sunlight.

The Details of the infrastructure project connecting Egypt and the UK will be discussed at an upcoming energy summit in London.
