<p>Egypt has traditionally relied on fossil fuels as their main source of electricity generation. Until recently, energy products in the domestic market were highly subsidised. However, the new strategy of the Egyptian Government envisages gradual removal of the subsidies for natural gas and oil and predominantly energy-intensive industries.</p>

<p>Additionally, decreasing reserves have led to a shortfall in fossil fuel production. Meanwhile rising energy consumption is creating a high growth rate of electricity demand. This is creating a very challenging energy situation. Nevertheless, this is an opportunity for Egypt, which possesses a highly conducive topography for wind and solar energy production.</p>

	<p>Egypt joined the Paris Agreement on 29 June 2017</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>The key for Egypt to mitigate GHG emissions is to provide appropriate foundations for the development of low carbon energy systems. Pathways to achieve this target are:</p>

	<ul>
		<li>
		<p>Widespread diffusion of locally-appropriate low-carbon energy production technologies, with substantial reductions in energy intensity.</p>
		</li>
		<li>
		<p>Comprehensive mitigation efforts covering all major sources of emissions.</p>
		</li>
		<li>
		<p>Locally-appropriate technology transfer and financial flows from industrialised countries to support carbon emission abatement.</p>
		</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><strong>Total cost to reach the target is USD 73 billion.</strong></p>
	</li>
</ul>
