Project Description

Renewable energy (RE) is an important opportunity for Egypt to meet its growing electricity needs while also meeting its climate change mitigation commitments. The Egyptian government recognises the need for progressing the country’s energy mix towards renewable energy to address electricity sector challenges. The government has set a target of generating 42% of its total electricity from renewable sources by 2030, with the private sector expected to deliver most of this capacity.

In recent years, the Egyptian government has moved both to increase the speed and scale of renewable energy development and to place much greater reliance on the private sector for financing and implementation of this increase.  Accordingly, Egypt has established a robust regulatory framework, built around the Renewable Energy Law (Law 203/2014) dated 21 December 2014, and two Feed-in-Tariff Decisions (Prime Ministerial Decree 1947/2014 dated 27 October 2014 (round 1) and Cabinet of Ministers Decree 2532/2016 dated 22 September 2016 (round 2).  These have led to several mechanisms for supporting the addition of renewable energy capacity, including (among others):  

1. The feed-in tariff scheme for privately owned projects of up to 50 MW for a total 2,000 MW of wind capacity and 2,000 MW of solar capacity (in addition, feed-in tariffs are also available for 300 MW of small-scale solar facilities). The solar component of the feed-in tariff scheme has attracted significant interest from the private sector – for example, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has financed 750 MW of capacity across 16 projects. 
2. Competitive tenders for large-scale build-own-operate (BOO) projects relying on private finance.  

The objective of this assignment is to provide the Egyptian authorities, and specifically Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC), with:
1) Detailed technical, financial and legal assistance for the procurement of a large-scale solar PV project under the BOO structure.
2) Detailed technical, financial and legal assistance for the planning and procurement of a solar PV and BESS project under the BOO structure.
3) Capacity-building support on selected issues relating to the competitive procurement of renewable energy sources.
4) Detailed technical, financial and legal assistance for the procurement of a solar PV project under the BOO structure.
5) Detailed technical, financial and legal assistance for the planning and procurement of a wind project under the BOO structure.
6) Detailed technical, financial and legal assistance for the planning and procurement of a hybrid wind and solar PV project under the BOO structure.
7) Detailed technical, financial and legal assistance for the planning and procurement of a standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) project under the BOO structure.

Access to Information Policy (AIP)

The AIP sets out how the EBRD discloses information and consults with its stakeholders so as to promote better awareness and understanding of its strategies, policies and operations following its entry into force on 1 January 2025.

Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM)

If efforts to address environmental, social or public disclosure concerns with the Client or the Bank are unsuccessful (e.g. through the Client’s Project-level grievance mechanism or through direct engagement with Bank management), individuals and organisations may seek to address their concerns through the EBRD’s Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM).

IPAM independently reviews Project issues that are believed to have caused (or to be likely to cause) harm. The purpose of the Mechanism is: to support dialogue between Project stakeholders to resolve environmental, social and public disclosure issues; to determine whether the Bank has complied with its Environmental and Social Policy 2024 or Project-specific provisions of its Access to Information Policy; and where applicable, to address any existing non-compliance with these policies, while preventing future non-compliance by the Bank.

Please visit the Independent Project Accountability Mechanism page to find out more about IPAM and its mandate; how to submit a Request for review; or contact IPAM via email ipam@ebrd.com to get guidance and more information on IPAM and how to submit a request.
