Faced with increasing demand, the Government is intent on expanding installed capacity and plans to practically double the electricity generation capacity by 2027 to reach 73.1 GW. To this end, it signed in March 2015, a contract with the German firm Siemens to install a total of 16.4 GW of thermal and renewable capacity at a total cost of US$6.7 billion. Most of this additional capacity will stem from three 4.8 GW combined cycle plants, which were expected to be operational by the end of 2017. There are also plans to add gas-turbine (combined cycle and conventional) plants, large coal fired plants, one or two nuclear power stations and a significant amount of solar and wind capacity.

The New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA) was established in 1986 to act as the national focal point for expanding efforts to develop and introduce renewable energy technologies to Egypt on a commercial scale together with implementation of related energy conservation programmes. The NREA is entrusted with planning and implementing renewable energy programmes in coordination with other concerned national and international institutions.

Egypt's electricity generation is still heavily reliant on fossil fuels. In 2016, 91% of the electricity generated stemmed from oil and gas, while 7.4% came from hydro-electrical sources and 1.2% from solar and wind sources. The authorities are planning to reverse this situation and to rely increasingly on renewable sources of electricity generation as well as on coal. In fact, the objective set for 2030 in the 2016 "Sustainable Development Strategy: Egypt Vision 2030" is drastically different from the current situation as it foresees that in 2030 only 27% of the total electricity generated will stem from oil and gas, 29% from coal, 16% from solar sources, 14% from wind sources, 9% from nuclear and 5% from hydro-electrical sources.

In order to counterbalance the decline in the number of tourists, the Ministry of Tourism has developed a six-pillar Global Strategy that will be soon enshrined in a new Tourism Law, which as at October 2017 was still in the drafting process and is expected in the course of 2018. These six pillars are: (...) promoting green tourism. (...) The Strategy acknowledges that traditional cultural tourism, and an all-inclusive seaside hotel, are just two segments among others, and seeks to develop other types of tourism products such as green tourism and to promote tourism in all governorates.

Guinea has several advantages with opportunities to exploit them, the most important of which are:
(…)
• significant renewable energy potential (particularly hydroelectricity, solar power, biomass) spread throughout national territory;
• increasingly effective and competitive renewable energy technologies, including solar photovoltaic (PV), biomass and wind, the costs of which are falling fast;
(...)
• major hydropower projects, electricity interconnection with neighbouring countries and grid strengthening are currently under way.
