Analysis
Egypt recorded 34.1 terawatt-hours for primary energy from low-carbon energy in 2025. That is the highest value across all 61 years on record.
The figure is up 22.3% on the previous year and up 118.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, primary energy from low-carbon energy in Egypt peaked at 34.1 terawatt-hours in 2025 and was at its lowest, 1.73 terawatt-hours, in 1965.
That places Egypt 50th out of 77 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
