Solar power for Egypt’s farms and food.

Solar irrigation, agrivoltaics and solar-powered agro-industry — every diesel pump replaced by sunlight saves fuel the grid and the budget need elsewhere.

Egypt’s agenda

Egypt is moving fast to power growth with the sun.

45%renewables target, brought forward to 2028
9.06 GWrenewable capacity at end-2025; solar output up 50% in 2025
40.2 GWrecord peak demand on 12 August 2026
+133%LNG imports in January–July 2026 versus a year earlier

Figures are drawn from public sources (2025–2026) and are indicative.

01For: Ministries of Water Resources and Agriculture

National Solar Irrigation Programme

Replace diesel pumps with shared solar pumping for farmer clusters, from the proven pilots to tens of thousands of feddans.

What we deliver

  • Centralized solar pumping for farmer clusters, replacing diesel
  • Scale-up of the Qena and Minya model, cluster by cluster
  • Remote monitoring of every pump, flow and water allocation
  • Farmer cooperatives trained to operate and maintain the systems

02For: Future of Egypt Authority

Solar for the New Lands

Solar power for pivots, pumping and farm operations in the reclamation areas, with storage to run after sunset.

What we deliver

  • Solar plants with storage sized to pivots and pumping stations
  • Candidate zones in the New Delta, Toshka and East Owainat
  • Irrigation timed to solar output to cut grid and diesel load
  • Delivered with engineering and financing partners

03For: Ministry of Agriculture and research centers

Agrivoltaic Demonstration Farms

Solar panels above crops and greenhouses that shade plants, cut evaporation and produce power on the same land.

What we deliver

  • Demonstration farms in desert conditions, from pilot to MW scale
  • Panel height and spacing tested crop by crop with research centers
  • Agrivoltaic greenhouses for high-value crops
  • Measured results: yield, water use and power per feddan

04For: Agro-industry and investors

Solar-Powered Agro-Industry & Cold Storage

Packhouses, cold stores and processing plants running on solar and batteries, protecting food when the grid is stretched.

What we deliver

  • Rooftop and ground solar on packhouses and processing plants
  • Batteries that keep cold rooms cold through peak hours
  • Energy monitoring across sites to cut cost per tonne stored
  • Designed around real cold-storage and processing loads

How we scale

01

Pilot cluster

One farmer cluster or one site on solar, with water, fuel and yield measured against a baseline.

02

Governorate programme

Many clusters across one governorate; cooperatives and local teams trained to operate.

03

National programme

Solar irrigation, new lands, agrivoltaics and cold chain, linked to national energy and water plans.

Every phase ends with measured results: diesel saved, water per feddan and power produced.

Next step

A site-selection workshop with the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation.
