Egypt has announced plans to increase the share of renewable energy in its power mix to more than 42 per cent by 2030, with a further goal of reaching 60 per cent by 2040, according to the country’s latest energy strategy updates.  The announcement was made by Electricity Minister Mahmoud Essmat during a meeting with Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly to review progress on renewable energy projects and efforts to strengthen the national grid, reports Daily News Egypt, a partner of…

Egypt has successfully added 2,000 megawatts of renewable energy, comprising solar and wind power, to its national electricity grid. This is reported by Sada El-Balad, a partner of TV BRICS. Egypt reduced its fuel consumption in June from an initially planned 142 million cubic metres of gas equivalent to approximately 127 million cubic metres. This shift saved around 12 per cent of fuel usage, according to a report from the Egyptian Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy.  In July, the Egyptian…

Zimbabwe is set to launch large-scale production of solar panels and lithium batteries. This is reported by The Herald, a partner of TV BRICS. The initiative aims to boost Zimbabwe’s renewable energy capacity through enhanced research, innovation, and local manufacturing, positioning the country to capitalise on its lithium reserves and growing demand for clean energy solutions. Cabinet recently approved a partnership with technology universities to advance solar innovation, training, research and, ultimately, manufacturing, making use of Zimbabwean local lithium resources.…

South Africa is at a crossroads in its energy transition. As the country seeks cleaner alternatives to coal, bioenergy has emerged as a promising solution. But there’s a catch—bioenergy production, particularly from crops and biomass, has a significant water footprint. Can South Africa afford to invest in a water-intensive energy future in a nation where water scarcity is already a pressing issue? The concept of a water footprint measures the total freshwater used in producing goods and services, including bioenergy.…

The UAE has announced the launch of the world’s first large-scale project combining solar power and battery storage systems.
