Forecast: Hydroelectricity Generation in Egypt

In 2023, hydroelectricity generation in Egypt stood at 13.84 Terawatthours. The year-on-year variation from 2022 to 2023 was a modest 0.28%, following declines in the preceding two years. The observed compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years was 1.37%, indicating a generally stable, albeit slow, growth pattern.

From 2013 to 2023, hydroelectricity generation exhibited fluctuations with periods of both increase and decline, peaking in 2020 at 14.9 Terawatthours. Key drivers for this variance include water resource availability and infrastructural enhancements.

Looking ahead, forecasts predict a relatively flat growth trajectory with a 5-year forecast CAGR of 0.19%, reaching 14 Terawatthours by 2028. Predicted annual increases are minimal, suggesting stability but limited expansion.

Future trends to watch for:

• Impact of climate change on water availability.
• Government policies on renewable energy investments.
• Technological advances in hydroelectric efficiency and capacity.
