Egypt’s solar energy production up 306% y-o-y

Egypt produced 3,655 GWh of solar energy during the state’s 2019-2020 fiscal year, a 306% y-o-y increase from the 900 GWh recorded the previous fiscal year, reports Al Mal, citing unnamed sources from the New and Renewable Energy Authority. The increase is largely a result of Aswan’s Benban solar power park, which officially came online in December.
