In recent years, rise ceaselessly as international oil price, the Egypt that demand of most, energy increases population of area of middle east, North Africa increasingly accelerated the research and development of the new energy resources such as nuclear energy, wind energy and solar energy, wait for a tradition in order to reduce to oil and natural gas cannot the dependence of second birth the sources of energy.

Egypt electric power and energy minister Ha Sang. Eunice said this year in July, egypt already formulate is long-term strategy of the sources of energy, the proportion in raising new energy resources to be supplied in Egypt the sources of energy further, specific target is the 20 ％ that make to 2020 new energy resources achieves Egypt the sources of energy to supply gross. At present this one scale is 13.8 ％ .

Wait for an element considering technology and feasibility, the first selection that Egypt develops new energy resources is nuclear energy.

The history that Egypt has nuclear technology studies is earlier. Be in early 20 centuries 50 time, egypt begins to undertake miniature nuclear technology studies, but have not own nuclear power station at present. October 2007, egypt president Mubalake announces to start peace formally to use nuclear energy to plan, the energy demand that will not count year of Egypt prepare to build several nuclear power plant to grow in order to satisfy homeland ceaselessly.

This year in May, egypt begins to evaluate 21 international company about bear build Egypt of the first nuclear power plant bid file. It is reported, first nuclear power plant drafts Egypt build at Mediterranean city Alexander around western haven small town is acting cling to, predicting need builds 5 years to 8 years, at the appointed time the 3.5 ％ that its electricenergy production will take Egypt total electricenergy production. The expert predicts, egypt needs to build 4 nuclear power plant again at least, ability makes nuclear energy generates electricity in its the place in total generating capacity occupies scale to achieve 10 ％ to come 15 ％ .

Besides nuclear energy, the development that Egypt also takes the new energy resources such as solar energy, wind energy seriously very and use.

Egypt the Red Sea a lot of places have bay of coastal, Su Yi person the advantage that develops wind energy, can build wind- driven power station. Egypt plans to made wind- driven electricenergy production occupies Egypt the sources of energy to supply the about 3 ％ of gross 2010. The field is used in solar energy, egypt also is quickening pace of research and development about the branch, with as soon as possible large-scale the solar energy resource that uses Egypt to abound.

According to the development program of Egypt power holding company, in the near future this company mixes as new as Egypt energy resources but total bureau of second birth the sources of energy takes a series of step, reduce cost, promotion to use solar energy and wind energy hard.
