Analysis
In 2025, annual change in primary energy from low-carbon energy in Egypt stood at 6.21 terawatt-hours. That is the highest value across all 60 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 224.9% on the previous year and up 618.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual change in primary energy from low-carbon energy in Egypt peaked at 6.21 terawatt-hours in 2025 and was at its lowest, -1.22 terawatt-hours, in 2009.
That places Egypt 17th out of 77 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
