Hossam El-Gamal, CEO of the National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA), said that providing energy sources is one of the most important challenges in the data center industry at the present time. During his speech at the Future Data Centers Conference (FDC), he added that Egypt has many advantages in this field, including energy resources. El-Gamal explained that electrical energy can be converted into information energy by providing energy to data centres and exporting it abroad in the form of information energy, after it is reinforced with a set of added values. These values tend to have a great impact on reshaping economic and operational concepts to maximize digital exports and reduce the need for digital imports for the Egyptian market. Global reports indicate that by the end of 2023, spending on data center systems is expected to reach $222bn, while data center market revenues will reach $342bn.
