Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi reviewed co-operation opportunities with the Greek Copelouzos Group in implementing power production projects via renewable energy sources in Egypt and transferring electricity to Europe through Greece via a power linkage project between the two countries, Presidential Spokesman Ahmed Fahmy said.
That came during the president’s meeting on Saturday with Dimitris Copelouzos, President and CEO of Copelouzos Group.
Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouli attended the meeting alongside Electricity and Renewable Energy Minister Mohamed Shaker and a number of senior officials of the Greek company.
That will maximize benefits from the modern infrastructure established and developed by Egypt in the field of electricity over the past years, in addition to Egypt’s natural resources, such as wind and solar energy sources.
It was agreed during the meeting to continue ongoing studies to crystallize cooperation with Copelouzos Group to establish projects for the production and transfer of clean energy from Egypt to Europe through Greece to consolidate Egypt’s position as a regional hub for trading all types of energy.
