Government to announce new waste-to-energy feed-in tariff by end of March

The feed-in tariff for waste-to-energy projects is likely to rise to EGP 1.08-1.40 per kWh from EGP 0.92 per kWh and will be announced by the end of March, government officials tell Al Borsa. Businesses had been hoping for a rate of EGP 1.10 per kWh, the same tariff recommended by the government committee tasked to study the issue, which was meant to submit its report by the end of last December.
