Law & Regulation

Presidential Decree-Law No. 203 of 2014 Regarding the Stimulation of Producing Electricity from Renewable Energy Sources

Egypt's statutory framework for promoting electricity generation from renewable-energy sources and facilitating private-sector participation in renewable power development. The law supports multiple development models, including Government-led projects, competitively procured Build-Own-Operate projects, feed-in tariff projects and private electricity-sale arrangements. It also provides an important framework for the allocation and use of State-owned land for renewable-energy projects. The law operates alongside Egypt's Electricity Law, with renewable project-development mechanisms remaining subject to applicable electricity licensing, grid-access and market regulation.
