Egypt generated more electricity than South Africa in 2025, ending South Africa's decade-long lead on the continent, according to Ember's Global Electricity Review 2026. Egypt's electricity output has increased by 35% since 2015, fuelled largely by gas, while its renewable share grew from 8% to 12%, with wind and solar surpassing hydro for the first time last year.
Alstom-led consortium secures €690-million contracts to modernise Egypt's strategic rail corridorsA consortium led by Alstom has signed four contracts with Egyptian National Railways to modernise the 6th of October–Alexandria corridor and Belbes–10th of Ramadan line, supporting Egypt Vision 2030. The projects will introduce European Train Control System Level 1 signalling, modern telecommunications and reinforced power infrastructure, cutting full-route travel time by nearly 80 minutes on the Alexandria corridor and strengthening freight links to major industrial zones and seaports.
Egypt inflation forecast to ease to 14.5% in May before rebounding on electricity price hikesEgypt's annual inflation rate is expected to have eased to 14.5% in May from 14.9% in April, driven by favourable base effects, according to a Reuters poll of 15 analysts. However, analysts warn the respite will be short-lived, with Goldman Sachs forecasting inflation will peak at around 17.5% in August as electricity price hikes announced in April feed through and food inflation accelerates.
