Five foreign power distribution companies have presented offers to the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) for USD 250 mn worth of waste-to-energy (WtE) projects, unidentified government sources tell the local press. The proposals came from Emirati, Chinese, Indian, and Canadian companies looking to construct WtE power plants using biogas and burnable agricultural waste with production capacities ranging between 10 and 20 MW. According to the sources, the Egyptian Electric Utility and Consumer Protection Agency (Egyptera) has already approved setting the feed-in tariff for WtE projects at EGP 1.03 per kWh.
