Egypt has 62 power plants in this atlas, with 34,184 MW of reported capacity. The largest listed plant is Kuriemat 2 (2,754 MW, gas; current status unverified). By number of records the most common technologies are gas, solar and oil. Grid operators listed here include Egyptian Electricity Holding Company. Electricity is regulated by EgyptERA. Renewables supplied 11.2% of its electricity in 2024.
Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.
