In a historic feat in the clean energy and sustainability fields, Egypt’s rank jumped 23 places in Bloomberg’s Climatescope 2017 annual report, becoming number 19 out of 71 countries assessed for the progress they made towards clean energy. This makes Egypt the second fastest country to progress in the clean energy sector since last year. “Egypt has also improved its policies and enabling environment for renewable energy in the last year,” the report went on to state. Egypt has boosted its development in renewable energy in the past years. Egypt’s New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA) has also received purchase bids from Vestas, Siemens, Enercon, and Ray Power for another 250 MW wind power station in the Gulf of Suez.
