Egypt and the European Union (EU) have strengthened their strategic partnership in renewable energy with a financing package of up to EUR 690 million (EGP 39 billion) aimed at upgrading and expanding Egypt’s electricity transmission network on Monday, 15 June. The funding combines a EUR 600 million (EGP 34 billion) loan from the European Investment Bank’s development arm, EIB Global, with grants of up to EUR 90 million (EGP 5 billion) provided by the European Commission. Led by the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC), the programme is designed to modernise the national electricity grid while accelerating the integration of renewable generation. Moreover, the project seeks to enable the connection of approximately 22 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity by 2030, a level expected to supply electricity for nearly 10 million households. As part of the initiative, state-of-the-art substations will be constructed and advanced transmission lines installed to bring solar and wind power from the Red Sea and Gulf of Suez regions into the national grid. Expected benefits of the upgrades include reduced transmission losses, improved electricity reliability, and stronger energy security, while supporting sustainable economic development.

On Talabat, one of the Middle East’s largest food and grocery delivery platforms, customers can now pay extra to have their order arrive faster. At malls and restaurant districts across Cairo, valet parking has become a routine expense. And, in open air venues like The Drive, entire food and beverage hubs are designed around the idea that customers should not have to leave their cars. These services signal a shift taking place across Cairo, where convenience is increasingly becoming a perk people are willing to pay for. Part of the reason is the sheer scale of Greater Cairo itself. According to a 2024 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report, Greater Cairo is home to around 23 million people, accounting for nearly a quarter of Egypt’s population and making it one of the world’s largest metropolitan areas. A drive from New Cairo to Sheikh Zayed can take well over an hour on a normal day and close to two hours during rush hour. Add the challenge of finding parking, navigating crowded commercial areas, or running multiple errands in the summer heat, and even simple tasks can become time-consuming.
