Egypt’s Prime Minister, Mostafa Madbouly, has confirmed that the much-anticipated Egypt-Saudi Arabia joint power grid project is on track for completion, with the first stage scheduled to begin operations by mid-2025. Speaking to reporters, Madbouly said the initial phase of the power grid will be operational between May and June of next year, marking a significant milestone in the energy cooperation between the two nations.

The cross-border power grid will have a total capacity of 3,000 megawatts, a significant boost to both Egypt and Saudi Arabia’s energy sectors. “The first stage of the Egyptian-Saudi power grid will be put into operation next May-June,” Madbouly announced, signaling the project’s steady progress.

The joint power grid project, estimated to cost $1.8 billion, is one of the largest energy infrastructure projects in the region, and it represents a crucial step toward regional energy integration. Once operational, the grid will allow Egypt and Saudi Arabia to exchange electricity, improving energy security, reliability, and efficiency in both countries. The ability to share power will also help mitigate any potential energy shortages and optimize the use of renewable resources like solar and wind energy, which both countries are actively investing in.
