Egypt — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 301 energy assets in Egypt across 12 layers — the 31st-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 118 power plants, 79 oil & gas fields and 31 pipelines. Operating generation capacity is 62.0 GW, led by gas at 87%. Refining capacity is about 488 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are BP PLC (19), New and Renewable Energy Authority (18) and East Delta Electricity Production Co (17), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Egypt's mapped assets in service predate 2009 (median commissioning year of the 186 with a known date), 67 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Tura Cement Plant, dating from 1927. 40+ projects are under construction or proposed, led by Renergy Sinia solar farm (15.0 GW).
