Egypt

Provenance, tier, and validation record for egypt. No live curtailment figures on this page — those are on the globe.

Region id: egypt
Country: EGY
Waste modality: Solar
Coordinates: 24.50° N, 32.70° E

Estimated Data quality

Tier

estimated · T3-modelled

No live feed and no published total for this region. A typical-shape profile is scaled to a capacity-based or literature anchor.

Modelled profile, scaled to annual (±40%)

Uncertainty

±40% of peak GW

Published envelope for this tier. See the uncertainty model.

Source provenance

modelled-fallback · No verified upstream link

There is no verified upstream link. The snapshot is a typical-shape profile scaled to an anchor, or otherwise estimated.

Source

NREA/EETC assessed 2026-05-09: Egypt's grid operator (EETC) does not publish public dispatch or curtailment data. NREA (nrea.gov.eg) publishes capacity statistics only — no curtailment MWh. Benban 1,650 MW solar complex has documented transmission-constrained curtailment (World Bank 2022–2024 reports cite significant curtailment due to grid constraints), but no machine-readable source found. T1 blocked: no public dispatch API.

Tier, provenance, and source are read at build time from src/lib/regions.ts — the same table the globe draws from. The validation record below is generated separately and gated against it by npm run ci:docs-drift.

Discrepancy analysis

No backfill and no TSO anchor. Region relies solely on the live snapshot; nothing to triangulate against.

Known limitations

No region-specific limitations recorded. See docs/methodology/historical-backfill.md §"Known limitations" for cross-cutting notes.
