Britain to Import Renewable Electricity from Egypt

  • The project entails the installation of subsea cables that would connect Egypt and Europe via the Mediterranean to import renewable electricity.
  • The £3.7 billion project is a collaboration between the Copelouzos Group and Infinity, with a focus on tapping into North Africa’s renewable energy potential.

Britain plans to import renewable electricity in Egypt through subsea cables connecting the country with Europe. Britain would import electricity generated by solar and wind farms located in the sun-soaked landscapes of Egypt.

The project includes the installation of subsea cables that would connect Egypt and Europe via the Mediterranean. It would enable the export of solar and wind power from North Africa to the UK and the rest of Europe. The project would transmit energy generated by North African solar and wind farms to Greece and the rest of Europe through a 965-kilometre cable. The energy generated from these farms would be equivalent to 10 gigawatts (GW).

The £3.7 billion project is a collaboration between the Copelouzos Group and Infinity, with a focus on tapping into North Africa’s renewable energy potential. The initiative would be announced during an upcoming energy summit that would take place in London this week.
