The increase in Egypt’s average temperatures has accelerated during the past two decades, dramatically raising energy demand for cooling during the summer.

How many e-buses are there in Cairo?

As part of this effort, the World Bank is supporting the deployment of about one hundred electric buses across the Greater Cairo area. The demonstration project will test the use of e-buses in real-life conditions—a critical first step toward large-scale electrification and modernization of the mass transit system.

Why does Egypt need a more resilient energy system?

The combination of increasing electricity demand for cooling and decreasing generation efficiency calls for a more resilient energy system. Although Egypt has less than 80 mm of annual rainfall, flood risks have increased in some regions due to the high regional variability in precipitation.
