Egypt and Huawei improve cooperation on smart grids, clean energy, and AI to transform Egypt’s power sector and attract investments.

Dr. Mahmoud Esmat, Egypt's Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy, met with leaders in the Chinese energy technology sector to strengthen partnership with Huawei's Global Digital Energy and Renewables Division. In order to support Egypt's digital and clean energy goals during the Conference on Clean Energy Solutions, Renewable Energies, and the Energy Transitions in Shanghai.

Vice President for Energy David Sun and Chairman Guo Jiangong welcomed Esmat on a visit of Huawei's modern facilities. Giving a thorough overview of Huawei's latest advancements, including unified data centers, AI-powered electric grids, solar power control systems, and power storage solutions. These innovations have the goal to improve productivity, reduce losses, and improve the overall quality of electricity—all of which are the top priorities in Egypt's energy plan.

The formation of partnerships and the development of energy technology sectors in Egypt were further topics of discussion. With the goal to attract new investments while establishing Egypt as an international hub for renewable energy technologies, Huawei is considering relocating some of its support facilities there.

Esmat highlighted Egypt's commitment to support Huawei's development with improved services, updated regulations, and strategic partnerships. In addition, Esmat stressed the importance of cybersecurity and digital tools for improving the electrical sector, especially in poor and remote regions. Later discussion focused on mutual partnership on measures to reduce power failures and illegal usage, especially among governorates. Smart grid innovations are currently being implemented in pilot programs, such as those in Port Said, to improve grid efficiency and service quality.

Egypt aims to serve as an example as nations shift to renewable energy. Aiming to increase its use of smart technology and sources of clean energy with partnerships like Huawei, with the goal to improve the reliability and productivity of its power sector. Egypt sees local clean tech manufacturing, smart grids, and AI as the basis of an environmentally friendly energy system that can satisfy current needs while preparing for the future.
