Egypt
In 2020-2021, in response to the COVID 19 pandemic, Egypt has committed at least USD 113.92 million to supporting different energy types through new or amended policies, according to official government sources and other publicly available information. These public money commitments include:
- Some public money committed for unconditional fossil fuels (1 policy with the value of public money unquantified)
- Some public money committed for conditional fossil fuels (13 policies with the value of public money unquantified)
- Some public money committed for unconditional clean energy (11 policies with the value of public money unquantified)
- Some public money committed for conditional clean energy (9 policies with the value of public money unquantified)
- At least USD 113.92 million for other energy through 3 policies (1 quantified and 2 unquantified)
By energy type, some public money committed for oil and gas (10 policies with the value of public money unquantified).
In addition, no public money commitments identified for coal.
Further, no public money commitments identified for hydrogen based on fossil fuels.
Finally, some public money committed for multiple fossil fuels (1 policy with the value of public money unquantified).
A considerably larger amount of public money committed to supporting the economy and people of Egypt through monetary and fiscal policies in response to the crisis may also benefit different elements of the energy sector. However, these values are not available from official legislation and statements and therefore are not included in the database. Meanwhile, in addition to monetary and fiscal measures, the database lists other policies and regulations that can also provide benefits to producers and consumers of different energy types.
These public money commitments are additional to many other government policies that had existed to support different energy types before the COVID19 pandemic.
