Private utilities in Egypt are advancing off-grid renewable energy solutions to enhance desert development, bypassing traditional grid constraints. Engazaat is leading the shift with a $250 million pipeline, adopting a Water-Energy-Food Nexus model.

This decentralized approach reduces reliance on public infrastructure and allows for efficient, sustainable operations. Engazaat's projects include solar and desalination initiatives, with plans for expansion in the UAE and West Africa. The company is exploring financing options, including a potential IPO, and is focused on carbon credit issuance to attract ESG investors.
